Something a little Zen... for Pat, AKA mesmerized & her Stillness Speaks Challenge. Actually, this is my second entry into her challenge, though my first new one.

I felt that the soft flowing lines in the middle, the minimalistic palette, plus the endless circles were all conductive to a restful, calming, serene & soothing image..... perfect for whatever you need it to be.

Oh ! Please full view it if you're curious, there is some faint framing of the circles that's hard to see in the thumbnail, thanks. ;-)

That is too cool. I love this one so much. Sometimes no need for a lot of color to make something POP. Great design and flow. Got to be one of the best I've seen. Great job.

This is lovely... it's not too dark, and the lines stand out clearly. The centre of the design resembles crystal flowers, and there's a softer design behind the centerpiece to give it added interest. A beautiful addition to your gallery. :-)

Ah, Lauren, the use of subtle colorings always makes your works stand out in a crowd. It is not every fractalist that came dake darker colors and a dark background and make subtle beauty such as this. Another peaceful, yet invigorating piece from you.

Seriously lovin' this! Maybe I have a touch of undiagnosed ADD, because although it is very soothing and beautiful I feel a very energized vibe flowing. I love the pale blue glowing hues and intricate design. It implies everything is connected. Saved.

I'm with Randy, this one hit my HD so fast it almost bounced, LOL. Love it Lauren! The design is gorgeous and color is perfect. Very easy to lose yourself in this one.

Much of the beauty in life is found in people who care.

Lauren, with this picture, you show us there is logic in beauty. The intersecting circles are syllogisms, each containing their own premises. It is in the shared areas within the intersections that we see and feel your artistic deductive conclusion. The triangle highlights the beauty and knowledge you wanted us to gain from your presentation. It is a beautiful work, and, to me, a great use and combination of math, logic, and art.

It is indeed a calming and beautiful image Lauren- not much for me to add to what has alredy been said except that it is now a favourite of mine.
