#sphericalart

This visual of mine was featured in the current issue of "Doorway to Art" I created it to give you an idea of how I create my artwork. I capture images from the inside of 3D spheres. The spheres

I took a fairly complex hexagonal 3D sphere and replaced every vertex with a paper clip model. At first they reminded me of how the clips cling together when magnetized, except these clips have a lot more

I took a fairly complex hexagonal 3D sphere and replaced every vertex with a paperclip. It reminds me of how the clips cling together when magnetized, but with a little more order. This image was made

No one was burned! I just processed a digital art piece I did earlier, to give it a textured watercolor paint look. I thought some of these shapes looked like toilets, or range hoods. I went with the range

I loved my marble collection as a kid and did this digital art as an homage to all the marbles with which I played. I explore color shifts and geometry in my art, and this marble theme provided me a format

I've been fascinated with Islamic architectural patterns since I first saw them. I like how the angles repeat and connect. Following the those angles around with your eyes can put you into a meditative

This image, called "Two Pools," was recycled from from another image of mine. Right click and open in a new page to see images larger. Sometimes I will crop into the original piece of abstract

These were made with the Element 3D plugin for After Effects. If you don't know about Element 3D, you need to check it out at videocopilot.net I duplicated a curved triangle around an invisible sphere

Climbed to the top of the ladder when I was five then came back down realizing I couldn't survive the horrible height the sickening sight of the shimmering water below the high dive. I'm a visual artist

If you're a follower, you know I find this art inside 3D spheres. I use a 3D program to create and modify hexagons and other types of polyhedra. With lights and a virtual Camera inside the sphere, I explore

I love GIF's! I'm so happy when I see one I like on the web. So decided to try it myself. I made a sphere and pasted a lot of little cubes of various sizes on the surface then i hid the sphere and put

To create this psychedelic, 60's style album cover art, I first made a simple spiral in my 3D program. The spiral, or helix, had just a couple of turns and was tapered - wide on the bottom, and narrow

I imagined I was inside a nest made of rainbow colored straw. I could see the rest of the flock flying through it's walls. It's the surprise of finding something I don't expect that keeps me coming back

I accidentally created this image while fishing around inside of a sphere. I had made a hexagon with many facets, and then imploded, or pushed each facet inwards and beyond the center. The effect was like

I chose the title "Aquarium" because it felt like an underwater scene with sea grass and it has a shape that's fish-like! All of which was a surprise to me, and one of the rewards in this type

My fish tank goes all the way around my room so my fish can swim around me and assume that I'm inside and he's outside I put clothes on him and wear a fish costume I'm mostly a visual artist, but sometimes

I use the mathematical patterns that are inherent in polyhedra to make artwork - I call that Spherical Art. Here's an example: This art was previously posted by me on Twitter, Instagram, and Flickr. Here

This is a rehash of my previously posted geometric abstract artwork called Fly Sense. I just turned it upside down, turned off the chrome effect and adjusted the Photoshop layers. Follow along with me

One of my digital artworks entitled Fly Sense. Because when I saw it, it reminded me of a housefly seen from above. I say "when I saw it" because I never plan out my artwork - I find it. I set

I'll be posting my artwork and sharing my behind-the-scenes creative processes. My name is Paul Petersen. I'm a 68 year old artist who has had a variety of art-related jobs. I've been a sign painter, an
