From innocence, the teens, man hood, the joy of parenthood, success, and to reap all of life's rewards with retiring and becoming a proud Grandfather; I feel truly blessed! Sure, there were many unwanted moments along the way, many of which, time has not erased. Some so devastating that I am amazed I have survived. But, only one wish I have made, and only one wish has been granted, "to be Happy"! Delusional and in denial, maybe; But, I'm glad I did not wish "to be Miserable"! :)
BIO
Someone told me I'm 57 (Now 62) and single. Really? I have always been a child at heart. So it is easy to see why I prefer Faeries! I did not need Peter Pan to convince me to "Never grow up!". Unfortunately, that's not the way our species. So on the exterior, I had to. But, deep within, my child remained. I prefer to be positive, supporting the soft, sweet, and gentle. I paint the world in that light. I'm not blind to the horrors of the world, and I stay sharp to the perils that confront us all. I simply do not allow that to alter how I view the world. I believe "Everything is beautiful", "Lead by example", "Love thy fellow Man", and possibly the greatest truth of all, "You can be what ever you desire, as long as you believe and pursue". I have always love the arts in all categories! I have palyed the guitar for over 45 years and have written over 100 songs. I am a minstrel and enjoy sharing my gift of song. I have dabbled in the visual arts since childhood. I won 2nd place in a High School Architectural State wide contest, and wanted to pursue that field, but somehow got sidetracked. The Sixties! During my middle thirties, I renewed my interests in the Arts and studied most of the Master Artists of oil painting, but struggled with its application. It was during my profession as Programmer Analyst, that I was exposed to CAD systems and its use in design, and found the Media right for me. I started with TrueSpace and CorelDraw starting in the early 90's, but it was not until I retired that I was able to give Art the attention it requires! I truly enjoy Poser and Vue and started to work with these tools in earnest in 2002. But I owe my biggest inspiration and push to Renderosity and all the Artists herein, regardless of their skill levels and talents. This community provides a place for expression and a shared interest > The Love of Art! Thanks for taking the time to get to know me. I hope you enjoy my images. Hugs, Dennis :)

This is definitely one of my favourites from you, Dennis! Very inspiring. Beautiful! Filled with joy and life. And really nicely done! I love the colours and tones, and the sense of depth. This IS awesome!

Dear Dennis, This is super beautiful and super creative!!! And was obviously a heck of a lot of work, too!! (I've seen all your "warmups" with the fairies!!!) I really like fact that you saw this the minute you saw the fractal - that sounds like a stroke of genius to me!!! I'm particularly impressed wiht how you've maintained the self similarity of the julia set - the fairies also "fade" away perfectly. I can well image that any part of the set could be expanded and and infinite new set of fairies would be revealed!!! This sould be hanging on the wakk someplace!!! Like a little girls room - like a fine art gallery!!!!!! You've really done a beautiful job of pulling all the elements together so that they blend seamlessly, too. It could well have all been "painted" at once!!! Totally stunning work!! If I ever have a little girl, I'm gonna commission you for one like this for her wall - I figure I won't be able to afford this one!!! I'm serious - I think in particular that it would sell to folks looking for art for children - at home, schools, hospitals! A children's ward would be honored to have something so beautiful and hopeful on the walls!!!!!!! Super excellent work!!! Love ya!!! Meredith

Wondeful collab image, Dennis! Did you know that there is a program written by Mark Hammond called BringItIn that can take a jpg - like of one of your faes - and plot duplicates of it spiralling like a fractal in UF? Check out Keith Mackay's recent flower images that he used this on to bring in pix of flowers.

This is a gorgeous composition! I love the mixed elements, but my favorite are the figures and the ethereal colors. Bravo, well done, a fav!
