    For my current mixed media art project, I wanted to share an unusual scene that I felt represents "gut feelings".

    Thwarting unpleasantness is a daunting task. Facing uncertainty or deciding to undertake any new venture may carry with it hesitation. A feeling that all may not be right at the present or apprehension at a certain aspect of the venture may rise. You get a feeling in the pit of your stomach alerting you to the uneasiness.

    It's called your "gut feeling.

    I fused two mixed media type art together to produce this scene. One details a pure fractal I recently created in the advanced version of the fractal rendering software, Apophysis 7X. I then paired with a stable diffusion image I retrieved from StarryAI with my unusual text description that I felt brought out the essence of pain and agony attempting to project itself onto the beautiful and serene part of one's life.

    Below are my steps:

    Style: Argo

    Pure Fractal

    This fractal is titled "Just A Circle." I used this as a positive image opposite the stable diffusion art. I love its iterations that created the swirls and infinite loops.

    I utilize Canva as my design program. To blend the images, I upload all into the program. As part of my upgraded Annual Pro Membership Subscription, I'm afforded tools that assist in creating my project such as background removal, filtering, colorizing, resizing, and animation if desired.

    Below are my procedures.

    To a blank, white canvas, I added my multi-colored fractal, then resized it to fit the entire screen.
