Compound of the Rhombic Dodecahedron and Its Third Stellation

One of the coolest things about the software I use to make these .gifs is the accidental discoveries. I didn’t even know this compound was possible until I stumbled upon it with Stella 4d. You can try this software at http://www.software3d.com/stella.php.

Stellating the Icosahedron

I worked on this painting from 2002-2004, then, several years later, I gave it to two good friends of mine, when they married, as a wedding present. It is 16″ x 20,” and is painted with acrylics, on canvas. The painting was given its title because of its origin, as a colored (and slightly modified) version of the stellation pattern of the icosahedron.
