I am a developing artist working on improving my abilities to create beautiful digital landscape compositions. Without the help and suggestions of the many fellow artists in this community, it would be a long time before I reach the next level.
BIO
I am a retired procurement professional who has long had an interest in photography and painting; and, lately in computers and photorealistic natural landscapes. I hope to become more proficient and perfect my abilities to produce acceptable work. My experience in art started at a very early age when I would spend many hours sketching and painting. I had instruction at The Art Institute in Chicago, Illinois. I did some freelance work for Flying Models, Model Airplane News and Top Flite Models creating plans and illustrative construction sequences for magazines and kit models. I had spent more than 20 years designing, building and flying radio controlled model airplanes...a very rewarding hobby for me. During the 1970s, I spent 11 years in the hobby of "bonsai"; the Japanese art of miniature trees. In my first 7 tree entry in a contest, all 7 trees were awarded ribbons in various categories. Japanese landscaping became a passion for me where I completed a 3 year project creating a Japanese landscape around my home in Oak Forest, Illinois. I also did this work for several other people in our community. In 1987 I moved to Phoenix, Arizona where I currently make my home. The love of the American southwest and all its beauty is where I wanted to spend the rest of my life. Now that we have computers, digital cameras; and, Terragen; I'll have enough to do for a long, long time.

Superb POV and mood.

The moon is the perfect size and in the perfect position in relation to the peak (love the way it 8reaches*). AWE-inspiring work, Bob..and, so serene and beautiful. The water with the overlays is some of the best I've seen. The terrain is magnificent and the surfaces and perpsective, so excellent. Lovely colors, light and clear atmosphere. Outstanding work.

A magnificent render. I am dying to make renders like this. The water is great, the terrain is so crispy and the atmo fits just right... What's the secret!!? :)
kenwas
The sharpening works very well provoding an excellent touch of clarity that goes well with the atmo and light. Excellent job!
Micter
Nice water and sky !
Dotthy
Wonderful work as always Bob, I love the turquoise touch of the sky in combination with the brown tones of the stones. The rays are also wonderful and your water is breathtaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Coppens
Splendid, as is everything you do! The clarity of the water is amazing. Lighting and colors are outstanding. Keep 'm coming!
Gunglejim
Beautiful render all round!!!
twistednoodle
Umm excuse me but this is TERRIFIC! Love the colours as Dotthy says. The water looks really wet (you pack my swimmers?) your pov really enhances the shimmering surface its excellent. Love the subtle underwater surface it looks very real! Post work is perfect - seamless, the moon is obviously meant to be there. Just wonderful!!
ariz
Again, excellent under water rocks. You really have the handle on them. Great sense of depth and excellent colors. Great mood scene. V

Exl.render!I do like the game of shadows and light.I can recognize your style from faraway Bob. Great colours too!
RealUser
Very nice! Good surfacing and phantastic details in the shallow water. Good job on overlays!
sanosoke
wonderful underwater overlay. Love the surfaces in general. Light is awesome, and I think I love these low shots of yours. The moon could be a nice touch, but I think it's in the wrong place, something looks weird with the composition. Anyway, great work!
criss
Superb artwork in all aspects! Top composition!
Vanh
Excellent choice of terrain, perfect POV, I like the lighting and water. IMHO, it could be even more beautiful with higher Jpeg compression settings (only 108kb here but some artifacts). As Jordano says, you have your own style.
Zazie
Awesome colour combination and fantastic pov ! The water is so wonderful too. Refreshing all over and so clear ! Excellent, Bob !
Petra-S

superza
Amazing Water and lighting!! may be the moon is a little bit rotate to the left, but still convincing Imho!
hillrunner
Very beautiful render in all aspects, except moon, a bit clear in my opinion (you should use mask)
blonderella
wow, you've really got the overlay thing down pat Bob...outstanding surfaces, and the colours you use are so fantastically beautiful...the subtle planets/stars you put in your images is the cherry on the banana split, a perfect topping to a magnificent taste treat!
