IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

"And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China", from
"Suzanne" by Leonard Cohen

The relationship to the topic is admittedly oblique.  But I always liked that
line in the Cohen song.  It suggests innocent delight in the romance of far
away places.  Tea and oranges suggest the exotic East, found in the everyday. 


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The rattan background is a hybred of checkers and gradient pigment patterns.  I
actually had modelled the rattan from interwoven torus segments but that
overwhelmed my computer. The oranges are modelled from small blobs placed with
splines and scaled by referencing patterns with the eval_pigment function, so
that their textures are actual.  The patterns used were combined radial and
wrinkles.
