I am a developing artist working on improving my abilities to create beautiful digital landscape compositions. Without the help and suggestions of the many fellow artists in this community, it would be a long time before I reach the next level.
BIO
I am a retired procurement professional who has long had an interest in photography and painting; and, lately in computers and photorealistic natural landscapes. I hope to become more proficient and perfect my abilities to produce acceptable work. My experience in art started at a very early age when I would spend many hours sketching and painting. I had instruction at The Art Institute in Chicago, Illinois. I did some freelance work for Flying Models, Model Airplane News and Top Flite Models creating plans and illustrative construction sequences for magazines and kit models. I had spent more than 20 years designing, building and flying radio controlled model airplanes...a very rewarding hobby for me. During the 1970s, I spent 11 years in the hobby of "bonsai"; the Japanese art of miniature trees. In my first 7 tree entry in a contest, all 7 trees were awarded ribbons in various categories. Japanese landscaping became a passion for me where I completed a 3 year project creating a Japanese landscape around my home in Oak Forest, Illinois. I also did this work for several other people in our community. In 1987 I moved to Phoenix, Arizona where I currently make my home. The love of the American southwest and all its beauty is where I wanted to spend the rest of my life. Now that we have computers, digital cameras; and, Terragen; I'll have enough to do for a long, long time.

Well, it is to me a magical tour de force of your talent and that of your assistants. Every element is perfectly set out, the cloud position, water patterns, lighting, pov, and subtle colorings of the wonderful terrain. Cheers, Bob!

I'm almost speechless. Almost. Just incredibly well done and so beautiful. Really like a soft painting. Outstanding work and kudos to you and the team, Bob.

yes very nice work on the clouds ! when i saw the thumb i thought the big rock on the right hand side looks like a huge castle. i guess that would also work very well in that environment - did you think about integrating some 3d objects in your TG scenes ? i think it would be a nice addition to that perfect natural surroundings...

I must say it's quite a departure from your desert scenes there, Bob. The cloudwork is the most eyecatching! You got the lighting through the clouds just right, though I wonder if more ambience could illuminate the FG? With TG2 however, it's probably as easy as herding cats. Altogether a moody and provactive vista!
