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.

The absolute pinnacle of TG realism and skill. When a postworked terrain or object cannot be distinguished from the rendered terrain, that's one thing; here, the actual photo object has to be good enough not to look "fake" amongst the rendered world- because of it's sheer perfection on detail, color, subtle lighting, etc. Yes, Bob, this is a true masterpiece!

Surfaces fit this Terrain to a tee! Atmo/Light of early morning is my favorite time of day and you have re-created it beautifully! Well worth the time you put into this excellent scene Bob! Goes to my Favs and deserves a "click" for sure! Huzzzzzah!!!

For realism, this has to be very close to your best. What sets this one apart from the others is the "patch/break" on the desert floor. When you are on a bluff high above, you can see every break or old trail on the desert floor. This is a excellent rendition of reality. Into my WIHD folder. V This is my new desktop. :O)

Superb work bob! The surfacecolors fit very well together and match to the terrain and atmo. I love the low sun and mood in this one, the time you put in this one is visible and pays off!
