Welcome To My Gallery
My name is Madeline M. Allen.
My home is Winnipeg, Manitoba. Canada.
Born in the 50's in the small town of Badger, Newfoundland. Canada.
I was surrounded by rivers, lakes and forest. That was my playground.
I grew up with an appreciation of nature at it's best out my front door. Wild animals and
birds were a common sight. Summers hot and dry with beautiful sunsets. Autumns full of stunning colors,
the reds, oranges and golden tones of the maple, the birch, and the tamarack trees,
with the different shades of green of the pine and spruce trees that clad the hills,
forest and valleys. All the while setting a pallet of colors that would be ever etched in my mind.
Throughout my life, every fall, that old yearning to capture the colors of
my childhood would come to haunt me.
I have had many interests over the years to tame that creative urge.
Flower gardening, writing children's books and drawing.
In the past five years, photography has become my Love. Out of my photography came a cure
for this fall time yearning to create with color. Using my original photography as my pallet
of colors, my passion for what I call " Smudge Art " emerged.
You will find in my galleries, a collection of my " Smudge Art "
Fractal Art, Fractalius Art and my Photography.
Enjoy !
My Smudge Art / Fractal Art / Fractalius Art / Photography creations are NOT public domain.
They are protected by copyright with all rights reserved.
Thou Shalt Not Steal My Artwork.
Please read this entire page before taking any of my images,
Smudge Art / Fractal Art / Fractalius Art / Photography creations!
You may use my Smudge Art / Fractal Art / Fractalius Art / Photography creations
for free as linkware under certain conditions using the following guidelines (stated below).
Linkware means that you include credit (copyright Madeline M. Allen or © Madeline M. Allen) with the
Smudge Art / Fractal Art / Fractalius Art / Photography creations and my website address
linked on the same page where the Smudge Art / Fractal Art / Fractalius Art / Photography
creation(s) appears. Full-Frame-Gallery, http://www.full-frame-gallery.net or
give credit using one of my banners (again on the same page where the
Smudge Art / Fractal Art/ Fractalius Art / Photography creation(s) appear).
I created the Full-Frame-Gallery website in May of 2007. In the past,
I did not have a specific 'terms of use' page.
The reason I must ask that you follow these guidelines is because many times if someone finds
or receives a creation without the artists name they may download it or scan it and use it ,
modify it or include it in other collections without realizing they are breaking copyright laws.
In fact some folks download a graphic, then create something different with it
and claim credit for the new graphic with no mention of the original artist.
You may use my Smudge Art / Fractal Art / Fractalius Art / Photography creations as linkware
if your personal website is NOT commercial and does NOT
contain or link to pornography, hate, or adult material or sites.
Never link directly to any Smudge Art / Fractal Art / Fractalius Art / Photography
creation on the website, you must download the Smudge Art / Fractal Art / Fractalius Art / Photography
creation and use them from your own files.
You may NOT use my Smudge Art./ Fractal Art / Fractalius Art / Photography creations in other
graphic collections (give away or for sale) either online or in any other form (printed matter, Cd's etc...).
You may NOT alter my Smudge Art / Fractal Art / Fractalius Art / Photography creations or create
other graphics with them, ie: banners, awards, PSP tubes, backgrounds, background sets, theme sets etc...
without specific written permission. In most cases I will give permission.
It is appropriate to give credit and a working link to the artist
(in this case me, madeline@full-frame-gallery.net , http://www.full-frame-gallery.net)
on each page where you use my Smudge Art / Fractal Art / Fractalius Art /
Photography creation(s). A text credit and link are fine (you don't have to put a
banner on every page). If you use several creations from one artist it's courteous
to include a banner link to them on your credit/links page as well.
If you use a background set or parts of a background set please include the matching
Full-Frame-Gallery banner (linked to this website)
on the same page where the Smudge Art / Fractal Art / Fractalius Art / Photography creation(s) appear.
If you use creations / graphics you find on the web and do not follow these guidelines it
is considered copyright theft and is illegal.
If you download creations/graphics from collection pages that DO NOT specify the artists of those creations/graphics, then you may be guilty of copyright theft. Stating that the artist is unknown or
that you/they believe the creations/graphics are public domain does not excuse copyright theft.
Too many people are doing this and one by one artists are closing their free sites. If it continues
it will be hard to find new free original creations/graphics on the web.
Thanks for reading these terms and following them.
I wish you Love and Peace in your life.
Smile and bring others joy!
Madeline
