I'm glad you think it's lovely and what is happening here... ? Abstraction ツ
It started with a background of stone texture, added waves of fractal distortion - on top: a curved tree with bare roots, scattered white leaves & a last swirl of fractal pulls in a small circle.
The meaning of the image is in line with what I usually create: abstract or semi-abstract images around nature, trees, the state of our planet, the tensions of climate change... hope this answers your question? ツ

Would I be correct in calling it digital art, with a series of processes layered over each other?
Or is there a photo amongst the processes too?

@ewen Yes, absolutely, this is digital art. I use Krita [https://krita.org/en/] for my artwork + its wonderful watercolour brushes.
I do sometimes use photographs as part of my work, but not for this one. Most of my posts on masterton.art are my artwork ~ I decided to join the #MonochromeMarch to both explore black and white art pieces as well as post some photos. I'm not a professional photographer, but I do enjoy photography. And the #MonochromeMarch stated that both would be allowed. ツ

Sometimes it's difficult to see the line between digital art and photography. One fella here does a lot of algorithm generated stuff and it's very crisp and feels so digital. That clarity is useful when interpreting a work of art.
My grandad and dad were both oil painters. The crackly globs of paint give a texture and depth to a scene that changes how you interpret the art. Or imagine the softness and translucence of water-colours?
The medium is important and changes the character of the art.
Anywaaaaaaay I kinda went on a long walk there sorry! Guess this was a way of saying, it's good to hold onto the medium itself, not hide it?

@ewen Oh I agree entirely ~ the medium brings a lot to any piece in itself. This is the reason why I add plenty of hashtags to my work to highlight both the watercolour for example and the app used to give context to my work.
And you reminded me - I also usually add this into my alt text. I've just edited that as I forgot to add this detail for this one ~ when I mix photography with digital, I tend to label it as mixed media + Mention the photo and the digital technique.

I think maybe I am more used to seeing your watercolours? I say maybe, I have been very distracted lately and not fully paying attention to what happening online.
It is confusing sometimes when a particular person posts across different lanes :)

@ewen Yeah, I know what you mean ツ
I do usually only post my artwork, which only rarely features photographic elements. But as I love BlackAndWhite + the idea of #MonochromeMarch sounded so appealing, I fancied joining in ツ
To be honest, I had not expected to enjoy it as much as I do or to be posting that much either. A new mobile + new camera to play with resulted in me posting possibly a little bit too much recently. ツ
Rest assured, I'll be resuming my usual postings soon ツ
