Description
This artwork was created through the use of one of my original photographs of a very unusual agate stone which has always filled me with a sense of mystery and wonder. I bought this fairly large stone from a gift shop in Bundeena which is located to the south of Sydney and part of the Royal National Park land there. This is a favorite place for campers and holiday makers who want to escape the city life for a while.
This image was created from an original image in my FAA portfolio called "Agate Beauty" and will add part of the description I added there to enhance one's understanding of how this image came about. ["The colours and patterns in this stone are completely natural. The pinkish area at the bottom part of the stone reminds me of a womb and so it seems to me as though this is a process of nature's birthing itself through this stone in a most unusual and beautifully creative way. The center area that's seems to be surrounded by a pinkish border is clear like a window or glass and behind one can see another world within, or to me it reminds me of a womb. An incredible and unusual piece!"]
I have added a digital overlay to this image of a space/clestial effect and tweeked it somewhat to create the result I liked. I created this after watching a documentary on the Milky Way which was so inspiring and interesting. I love space and all things celestial, so what more fitting way to honor the mystery of this agate than to send it back out into the universe as star dust which is where it began.

Stunning! It takes me on a journey into space. The colors are dynamic and the translucence is mesmorizing.
