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)ĆĀ 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 :)

I loved Walt Disney's Ferdinand The Bull! Really nicely done and great use of character! Super work Dennis!

did you ever hear the story about some bulls that was talking about a new ferocious bull that the rancher had bought.one said I only have 8 cows but I will not share any.the next repeated the same line except he only had 5 cows.a young bull said I have no cows, but if I did I would not share.well, the day came when the bull arrived and he was kicking the sides of the trailer and making a terrible noise.the young bull runs out and starts making his own noise.the other bulls tries to call him back and says that new bull will kill you.the young bull says I want him to know I am a bull!!! Jerry Clower-credit outstanding work Dennis and the minotaur is so easy to work with and the joints poses easy,Drakelot really did his homework as you did creating this scene

Wonderful work Dennis, you truly created a work of art and put forth a nice message in doing so. Great job on everything in this image my friend, especially the look he has on his face while staring at the flower and the little bird resting upon his horn.

LOL, wonderful job, Dennis! A delightful new type of image from you, and so glad you decided to post the kinder, gentler side of his nature! Sweet and clever!! :)

Great concept and an impressive composition, Dennis!

Excellent composition. Different for you but I love it.

I remember Ferdinand the bull.. was one of my fave Cartoons. This new twist on the story is very clever and exceptionally well executed. Bravo and multiple thumbs up Dennis! Very thought provoking. Too bad we all can't be Ferdinands. It's just in the nature of some to be warriors. Give them everything and they will still find a stupid reason to make war. Oh well.. Anyway, again.. super render my friend. Best wishes from Dave :^)

This is somewhat different for you Dennis, a very sweet image! :)
DRAKELOT
This image is so beautiful Dennis. First, thanks for using him for this story and artwork. Second, I do remember "Ferdinand the Minotaur Story and cartoon". I'm glad it worked O.K. in Vue. Awesome multiple character scene, posing (Impressive B.T.W.) and thanks a mill for your friendship and words. Straight to my video, special wall, site and Renderosity favs ... Antonio !!!
