That's my husband David and I, and my beloved kitty Lucia. Lucia adopted me in 1996, and David and I found each other here..we started as best of friends, and are still soulmates. We were married in England on 6 May, 2005.
BIOI've been dabbling in digital art for about 6 years, starting with Bryce 3. I think I've improved quite a bit. I've been at Rendero for quite a few years; enjoy the forums and galleries. I do graphics mainly as stress relief, and also because I can't draw with a pencil and paper worth a damn! (Didn't inherit any of my father's prodigious artistic talent)
The main programs I'm using these days are Vue Infinite, Poser 4.03, 5 and 6, PhotoShop 6 and CS, and PaintShop Pro 7 & 8. I also play with Terragen and Mojoworld 2 & 3 (among others).
I don't really stick to one genre; I've been bouncing between nature scenes, portraits, with and without postwork, people, places, things, nature, animals, and fantasy. Right now I'm concentrating on texturing and lighting in Vue 4 Pro, and have been doing sprite images because they make me feel so lighthearted.
My sweetheart's name here is madasatadpole, and he's a very talented and creative artist. Please visit his gallery to see some stunning landscapes as well as some very silly humor! So thanks to Renderosity for not only being a source of information and fun all these years, but for bringing me the most precious gift of all. His dad also has a gallery here, madasadadpole, lol, please stop by and check out his lovely watercolors.

Love the trees. You could scale down the grass though IMHO. Very nice image anyway.
Kindredsoul
Nice image. Trees looks so photorealistic. Maybe thin out the grass a little bit

Beautiful landscape and the trees are wonderful. The lightning reminds me on old Vue 4 times. But the image is nevertheless excellent!

Beautiful scene, Christie. Impressed by the quality of the light. Now do I see a cone-shaped conifer on the right?... The kind of tree I'd like to have!lol. When do you find the time to render beautiful scenes like this, btw?

You also have Easel. I asked Walther why he had Easel and Infinite, and ask you the same? Excellent picture though. Like the composition and textures used:)
