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.

Lots to see in this one! Great terrain and surface work...the atmo really brings out the tones as well. Great work Bob!!

Is this the region once known as the badlands, where outlaws once hid out. It certainly has that barren feel. The increase in point spacing has achieved the desired fade and dof; and the sky and lighting are excellent.

Excellent terrain, surfaces and lighting!

My favorite, Bob - desert scenes! Very well done strata-like banding on the rocks. My only suggestion would be to increase the glow near the sun, if only for a dramatic effect.

excellent terrain and view - surfaces are a possibly a bit bland in my opinion but probably cos we are used to seeing very intricate surfaces from you bob! great job tho!
