BIO
Because we value our privacy at home, I'm not going to say too much here about my personal life. Those that know me, already know probably too much about me. :) I am a programmer by trade and work for a company in Washington DC (even though I live in Florida). I've been programming almost as long (if not longer) than I've been doing art.
In 1988 or so, I started drawing on the C-64 which only had 64 colors (of which only 4 could be used in a certain place). There was a program called Koala Paint that I used to draw simple images with. I dreamed then of getting a 24 bit board I saw in the magazines, even though it was $2400 and I didn't even know what computer they were for. Then I got the Amiga and DCTV. Millions of colors! Yeah! Though it had troubles, it was still awesome to work with and I have found few paint programs that work as well as that one did, though Painter is pretty close. Then I finally got the elusive 24 bit computer (the IBM compatible) and I was on my way, though I still miss the old days of Deluxe Paint and DCTV.
I work in 2D and 3D with an emphasis on 2D. My work includes celebrity portraits, down home scenes, and fantasy. I also lean more toward family art so that I can show the kids, not because I have anything against the more adult works. My mediums include Poser, Bryce/Vue, Painter and Photoshop with a touch of LW (still learning on that one).
Thanks so much for viewing this page and I hope you will enjoy my work. On behalf of the whole family, have a great day...
Oh, and please remain seated until this page comes to a complete stop. Thank you...

Great! The blue is an oustanding shade. The hair actually looks suspended in water. I could say more but then I would start getting jealous.

This is good, SW! You definitely have the floating effect going. ;) My only suggestion is to add a few more "stray hairs." Great work, nice atmosphere.

SW - I am first of all thrilled to see you posting and sharing with us the fruits of your most original labors. Although your truly delightful 'Water Nymph' is dedicated to the many skilled 'Poser Artists', I cannot remotely claim to be one, so I hope my comment will not be less considered because of my total lack of skill in the genre. I think that above the fine attention to the sweet 'nymph', my eye is drawn into the splendid disappearing background of sand bars, with just a perfect hint of a rock cropping. Very beautiful job in MHO.

As a lady of the lake I can truly appreciate the serenity of this image. Love the addition of the beauty-mark and the wonderful movement of her hair. The eyes are so very mesmerizing, as if she knows the true secret of inner peace. (The sharks add the perfect finishing touch to an already prefect image).
