circles along a wavy curve with random radii and shading is alternating between white and blue gradients.

Walking Ripples

Over the last week I have been drawing circles along paths and then shading them with 2 colors using random numbers to determine their radii. For example, the one on this card was drawn with 10 evenly spaced circles along a line using the random radii of 48,30,70,

Ancient Is
