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.

Looks wonderful Bob!! Beautiful atmo, colors and lighting, incredible looking clam water with it's perfect reflections. My kind of place when I want to mellow out. Big lake!! Thought Shuswap Lake here in B.C. was big with over 1000 miles of shoreline. Anyways, beautifully done!!

Spectacular atmosphere it looks like that when California is burning up making the hazy sunsets burn bright. There is a lot of interesting Mormon history in this spot also. The best part is the beautiful canyon burried below the lake. If you have ever read Edward Abby and the Monkey Wrench Gang you know what I mean. Here is his website http://www.abbeyweb.net/

Nicely done - expecially worth clicking for the full sized view! I have seen Lake Powell, but only from the dam, not from the water. Your terregen creation is a masterful tribute to this stunning combination of nature and human effort. Bravo!
