Thank you for stopping by and for viewing my work. I am a mother of three wonderful stepchildren, a wife to a loving and supportive husband, and I also work full time. I have no formal training in art, but from a young age wanted to be an artist. The problem was I wasn't any good at drawing or painting. I couldn’t translate from my brain to the paper/canvas what I saw.  I did have other talents, singing is a passion of mine, I sing in the shower and car every day. (grins) I also dabble with stain glasswork, scrapbook, stamping, embroidery, needlepoint and the list goes on.
December 2006 I found Daz Studios and for the first time was able to at least get some of the images I saw in my head out. But it wasn't as easy as it seemed. Nothing good ever is. I started posting images on Renderosity and met some wonderful people who invited me to join a group of people who all used Daz Studios and so my learning increased. We now have a wonderful forum called Daz Artist Guild dedicated to helping people who want to improve their skills using Daz Studios.ÂÂ
Our motto: Dream~Creativity~Render~Reality
So if you get the chance please stop by and say hello! Until then, as a friends says...

Render on!!

The grass makes a big differed now. And the shadow are ..... not there! Great blend with the background pic. It doesnt look so flat any more(more alive)!!!

DLG- Great results and I personally know how much time is involved placing all those plants and grasses. The shadows are much better also. My only tip would be postwork using the smudge tool on the hard edges of some of the grasses. I have the same sets and some can be placed a bit below ground to get realism and some just get that edge and there's no alternative but postwork. But if you are happy and done with it, be happy and done,it's wondrous.

DLG- - -> Well Kim I think you improved this one quite a bit. The grass is and flowers are a great addition and really helped the scene. By the way, you should be highly praised for your efforts. You are a great example of how to properly handle constructive comments, learn and come back with better. Keep it up!

DLG-- Bravo! She has a very sultry look & the gown looks perfect. I checked out the first version, and agree that you've improved it. As was pointed out earlier, use either a blur,in PS, or use the grass props in woodland just arund the trees so they don;t look like cut-outs. Very well done though. Cheers!
