My real name is Marlene, nicknames are Marly and Marcy and I live in California. I am the Mother of 8 grown children, 5 daughters and 3 sons, the grandmother of 22 and 1 more due. Since I can remember I have had a great passion for art. Two of my sons can draw beautifully on paper and canvas although I was never blessed with that talent. Then back in 1998 I got my first computer and was constantly looking at all the art I could find online. Not long ago a friend introduced me to Renderosity and I was like a child at Christmas taking in all the beautiful art. I started playing around and decided why not try my luck at it? And I do enjoy it tremendously and have made so many friends here at Renderosity. Several months back a very close friend here at Renderosity introduced me to the world of Bryce and now I am addicted to it. It's a wonderful program if you enjoy scenery and landscape as I do. Just recently I have been teaching my daughter "SassyLittleAngel" to use Bryce as well...you can see her work here at Renderosity too.
I am a huge fan of this beautiful online site of Renderosity which most of us here call "Our Town" or "Our Home".... thank you Renderosity for making my dreams come true!
 I offer a series of free stuff at http://shahlaa-hopes.angelfire.com/free_art  Please check it out.
I have a web page at http://www.angelfire.com/shahlaa/shahlaas_linkspage.htmlÂ
God Bless and Blessed Be.

I believe that we should have the ability to delete any comments we do not want on on our comments. however the comment poster has that option to delete his comment. so odd. and thats cool you mentioned Keith! he really is a cool guy. and has a heart of gold. I hope you are doing better and I love this one you created!!! the fog is super cool here! and the water is lovely in this scene!!! have a nice night and take care Marlene. Hugssssss

Sis I wish I could do what you do..... I would never close my gallery.....you never mentioned this when we talked last night......I would of gotten very upset someone attacked you in this manner... It was highly uncalled for........and never delete your beautiful work... It is uniquely yours...and precious just as you are... There is always one rotten apple in the barrel.....just throw that one away..... And the rest are beautiful pickings...... Love this and you too Hugs Your Ky sis Susan~

Your artwork is definitely worthy of showing here at Renderosity. Don't let one person get you down. Now matter what any of us do, there is always some idiot who will try to upset the applecart. Hang in there, Gal!

I´m sorry to read that you had problemes with another artist here in town. From my point of view, each image is it worth to post on ReRo or another gallery on the web. Sure the display of art is a of personal matter of taste, but nobody must see a gallery if someone don´t like the images. It´s really nonsense to attack an artist. Just the ex-champions of painting have had so different styles and nobody like all of their works. So by sample, if you don´t like Rubens, you certaily will not visit an exposition of Rubens images. You certainly don´t go into the museum to cry for Dali images becourse Rubens is so awful. So I think it´s the same here. If someone don´t like the art of an special artist, so he or she don´t have to see this images. Go on with your images and have fun with your hobby! I always enjoy to see it!!

I nearly deleted my gallery the other day I was so depressed... that's art! Rendo is great overall. Not perfect, but very friendly and on balance a great experience for up and coming artists and professionals... if they want to take part. There is hardly any elitism here, in my view and very little jealousy... but I'm new to Renderosity, so what do I know...? I'm not new to art though and I know there will always be 'Art Jealousy', that's a fact! Art is... and always will be... a struggle. Your picture today is excellent... the composition is fantastic, as is the sense of depth! The colour palette is extremely beautiful.... Most of all though, I think it's a 'good picture' because 'I like it' and I'm sure many others like it too... in some ways there is no other criterior.

The soft colours make this a truly remarkable picture!!!

Beautiful work Marlene-love your rock formation. Don't worry about the idiot who came to the party. didn't get enough attention, caused a scene and left, be thankful for the people that shared and visited with sincerity

This is some nice use of the Bryce program.You obviously know what you are doing.Keep it coming.
afugatt
This is fantastic! I don't care what anybody says, your work is gorgeous and I enjoy seeing each and every one. You have my support.

as400boy
Good for you !!! Tell those who do NOT appreciate you art to kiss off..... It's is YOURS,, and you are kind enough to allow others to view it,,, This Bryce render is just wonderful !!!!!! Thank you !!!!
Silkylady
This is outstanding, beautiful and unique Marlene. You did a great job. Really one of your best. Dave mentioned about the idiot with poor taste in art. Don't ever let someone that low, cause you to take away our enjoyment of your art. It's too bad that we can't all vote that rotten person out of our Rosity Community for good. Huggs... Silkylady...
lightstormcrow
Wonderful work on the atmosphere, your line of site allows for your lake to show good reflection & ripple action...The other thing I would like to mention is your dedication to the Bryce program, it takes allot of love and patience to go through the renders & so on...Photostar helped me last week calm down after I got myself upset over other artist being messed with...He is a kind soul and he is correct, there are some wonderful people here...Be well & it is nice to view your work...

Marlene my dear friend I am so thrilled to see this beautiful image and in a way it is a sign of your triumph over this situation. If you had indeed closed your gallery and deleted Bryce you would have in effect taken away a wonderful treasure of images and beauty that we all enjoy.

Marlene, hon, don't let that so-and-so get to you! Your artwork is just fine, as you've proven again with this piece! It's lovely, and very well done, and you've no need to feel as though your art isn't good enough! Some people are just like that, unfortunately, and who knows--maybe that person is actually jealous (now there's something to think about, eh?) You've got friends here, and real admirers of your art, and that's how it will stay. It's obvious that the other person has some serious issues, and you just need to remember who you are, and how many people here care about you, and KNOW you're a good artist! This is the first that I've heard of it, but then, I don't get around to the other galleries all that much, I'm so busy in the fractal gallery. I am quite sorry to hear that such a thing happened on this site--I would have hoped for better out of each member here, since we're all in the same boat, having our art reviewed by so many folks. Art is a very subjective thing, but there's simply no need for anyone to attack another person, period. Myself, I go by the old standby rule of thumb that says, "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all!". No one will like every piece that another person does, but it would behoove us all to remember how we ourselves would like to be treated, and then treat everyone around us just as well. Please don't ever leave, or delete your gallery, hon--it's a sure bet that many of us would be very, very sorry to see that happen! You just keep going, and keep making your wonderful art---let the discontented so-and-sos of this world be discontented on their own time, and don't let their stinking attitude get to you. Hugs to you, hon--many hugs! Daff

What a gorgeous scene. Love the way you have the leaves so close as to reach out for them. The Lake and Atmosphere are superb, and love that reflective surface.
mboncher
What a strange and unusual place you've created. Very reminiscent of "Riven" to me for some reason. Keep up the good work.
ysvry
great image, remember your own opinion is most important, if you feel its worth showing, it simply is. If people add stupid comments its probably because they feel threatened by your talent, look at it as an compliment in disguise ;) keep on rendering.
mila_s
nice!

Wonderful image,
VelvetMoxie
This is absolutely gorgeous, Marlene! So glad you reconsidered...I would give anything to be able to produce something like this--very well done!
Gor111
Oh this is a real beautiful created Bryce scenery you have posted here! Love the water texture which looks fabulous here!!!
kitzie21
There is something very soft and appeasing about this image. I like your choice of soft colors, and the gentle mist giving way to what I hope will be a wonderful day. I can't remember how I first happened onto your gallery but I remember the very first image I saw bowled me over and went straight into my favorites. You are a good artist, Marlene. But perhaps more importantly, you enjoy your work and there are many people who enjoy looking at your work. It's really that simple. So if you ever find yourself doubting, remember all of us who would be somewhat diminished by not having your pictures to look at anymore.
Hendesse
A wonderful image. Excellent perspective and fantastic mood. A superb composition. Don't worry about the comment of one person. there are so many fools all over the world which have fun to mob other poeple. Just ignore him. I like very much what you do with Bryce and I admire your creativity. :)
Kuiski
a very splendid landscape! nice done
