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.

Wonderful piece of artwork Bob!!! Excellent use of surfaces and lighting. Really love your sky and the color palette you've used. Been busy myself too and not able to be around much lately and hope to see the odd piece from you now and again. :o)

what an awesome image Bob, it is SO beautiful and relaxing to gaze at...all aspects of your terrain work is simply outstanding! superb atmo too...as for coming out of retirement, if you can find a nice balance of work and play, that's the key...I know that I certainly couldn't sit home 24/7...when you've worked all your life, you can't just shut that drive off like a switch! and besides, I believe it's not healthy to try to...make sure you make plenty of fun time for you both!
