I began my art 'interests' at the ripe age of 10. That Christmas I received my very first set of oil paints as a gift and proceeded to paint a picture that my aunt still has hanging on her wall. A country scene of woods and snow. Very easy for a beginning artist.
I took art in high school as well as the pre-requisite courses to attend college, my dream of being a teacher quickly quashed in the over flux of teachers way back in those stone age days. My major switched to History and Marketing Management (heh a lady did have to have something to fall back on) ... Continuing to paint, draw and use any and all mediums I could find, I found my favorite in oils and watercolors. I'm mostly self taught, having had only two years of 'art' studies' so when you look there is something definitely missing, I see it, you may not which may be a good thing.
I married, moved to NY, divorced and raised two children on my own, beautiful, gifted and lovely ones too :) My son is going to be a teacher, daughter is in restaurant management. I'm quite proud of both of them.
Back to my 'art'. I took interest in terragen and love the capabilities it gave me in creating a landscape without the use of paints when I permanently injured my 'holding' arm. I cannot paint for long periods of time using my left arm. Limited but not defeated. Taking up computer art satisfied my 'craving' to create landscapes, and the use of watercolor pencils and graphite satisfies my other creative endeavors. Currently I am working on a series of surreal fae art, if such a thing exists besides in my imagination. As well as some artwork in graphite attempting to work on life studies. It's been an uphill climb and I find I'm more than satisfied most of the time. "We're our own worse critics"... and so true. Much of what I do doesn't find it's way here, for I don't feel it should be shown.ÂÂ
If you take a moment, and glance through my gallery, I hope you take away a wee bit of magic, a sense of delight and have enjoyed the visit...If you'd like to see some of my artworks that are no longer here, or that I've never put here, please feel free to visit my site:http://www.freewebs.com/ppeterse/index.htmVarious artworks from pencil to watercolors are there.

Pat, I am so sorry to hear about this. I love your artwork and just watching you grow in Terragen and World Machine. Your artwork is fantastic and I always enjoy viewing your art each day and reading the mythology and stories behind each and every one of them. Your atmosphere, surface and terrain work is just fantastic!

Pat...I don't know what happened or what was said but man...I'll miss those birds...hey...take a break...render images for yourself and save them...then post them here at rero...cause damn it I WANT TO SEE THEM!!!
Thelby
I am speachless,...even thoughtless,...How will I, one the truest of humble beginners, make it without your renders to help inspire me everyday. Your words of encouragement to me have provided the eagle wings on which to sore! Your spirit is true and deserving of SO Much more,......................just know this,....I will be here waiting for you,....when you decide to return!!! :.(...

This comes as quite a shock Pat. I'm still rather new here but it doesn't take long to discover who the people are that breathe life into a community. I hope you will reconsider and continue to let us enjoy you fine work and inspirational words. All the best, Pete.
DigiArts
Pat, there are so many of us here who derive pleasure and inspiration for your beautiful moody signature work and words. Please don't let someone's immaturity and mean-spiritedness (if that is the case) drive you away. Most of us have a ways to go, and we encourage eachother. There is something special- even magical- in your Terragen work. I hope you will reconsider. If you do leave, I wish you all the best in all your endeavors. Hugs, Linda

Hey! What's going on here! I hope I haven't been mean? I don't think I have? I'm a wee bit crusty, abrasive and short on words at times. But if I comment at all it means I see something I like. Like in this picture, I like the variations in the rock surfaces most. I also Like the Color Pallet and I'm a softy for Blisses to.. If you are leaving for personal reasons I wish you much luck. If you are leaving because your feeling were hurt do like Mark suggested and take a few deep breaths, a few days break from posting and get your Butt back here Girl! :o)

Pat I don't know what is going on here.But I want to say that it is a shame that You are leaving us.You have been learning by leaps and bounds and You are getting better and better all the time. Take a break and like Markel said come back and show us what you have been doing.
DivineRAiN
I don't know what's going on here either, but I think a lot of us have been thru experiences where we felt like you do, felt like leaving this gallery for a while. I don't think that's going to solve anything. Looking at your render here, wow! you did a fantastic job. I really like how you handled the surface map, awesome bliss and colors! scale and depth, and the birdies.
phasic
its a pity that you leave us ... but its your decision and nobody can change it even if many people here would love to (im one of them too)- i hope you will be back soon and give us the pleasure to look at your always inspiring and magical renders :) if not i wish you all the best for the future

to me this is super looking. love the land and sky. if you tried of this gallery think of posting in another like photos or mix or 2d. but if you like fractal as terr is made up of post in fractals then. In other words try another gallery just do not leave. I know I do not come here to comment on your art much. I like what i see
Vik9740
when one works hard on their art, comments can become very personal. I for one truly enjoy your postings and hope you will return soon to continue sharing your wonderful work. You're loved here and appreciated, Vik

Oh no!! What happened sis??? Who said something? I will get them!!! Dear Pat...look at the comments above.. everyone Loves your work and knows that you put your heart and soul into each picture you post. I, for one, know how much work they are and how much you have given to us all here in RR. Don't let a few discourage you...you are an artist and everyone has a different opinion about what they like in the artworld. This render is absolutely gorgeous and I'm being as honest as I can be!!! It's breathtaking Pat! Much to beautiful to be your last. If you need a break, I can sure see why as I can barely keep up with comments in RR...but please don't leave. You belong here. :-) Big sisterly ((((HUGGGGG))))) VOTE!
