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 :)

Your home is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! I haven't decorated for at least five years! This year my husband and I did manage to do the outside though. I think the neighbors must have passed out! LOL! You have inspired me for next year. Have a wonderful holiday with your friends and family. Hugs! Melody

Dear Dennis, You really went all out to welcome folks to your home! You should be an example for all of us. I'm going to go enjoy someone else's Christmas labors in the morning instead of laboring myself on the Meredith apartment. That seems kind of like a crummy deal, but I will be trying to do my fair share tomorrow! I'm so glad your party went so well! I know that everyone enjoyed it immensely! And I also hope that everything went well at the services today, (yesterday now, I guess!!!) Merry Christmas to you, my oh so sweet friend!!!! Peace and Love, Meredith

Your home looks lovely and warm and welcoming. I love how you have done the lights right round the room. NZ is starting to catch up with America with all the lighting on the houses. I think they look wonderful and well worth the effort. Thanks for sharing.

How very beautiful your home is! Such an ABSENCE of CLUTTER! Beautifully decorated and inviting. I am afraid I am one of those people Michelle described above who just wishes it would pass. Without children it just isn't the same. ~sigh~ Thanks for the lovely post! -::-:'"":.-()!-::-:'"":.-

I have to agree with Heartnsoul that not many men would do all the things you have done. You are quite a rare person. The images are just lovely. They are very crisp and clear in the low light. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas. I hope that God will bless you and yours with a wonderful New Year!

Aww, Dennis and this was your first Christmas without your Mom's physical presence. Many folks would have bypassed it all. Thank you for inviting us all into your very wonderful world and your spirit. Yes, I'd say you are definitely a keeper!
