Hi my name is Don and I'm a beginner here at Renderosity as of 02/2008. I'm 62 years young and married more than 30 years to the love of my life. I have 3 wonderful children and 2 beautiful grand children and live in the Palm Springs area of southern California.
Art is new to me (i;m sure it shows... lol) but I have found it to be very challenging and rewarding at times too. While getting ready to move, my son found some software we had bought him for classes he took at college and he asked if I would like to use them now that he was moving on. They were some what dated but I became the owner (I bought it anyway.. hehe) of Poser, 3dsmax, Vue, etc. along with a bumch of content for them. After playing for a while I upgraded some to their current versions including Poser 7 and then Poser Pro.
I posted my first image here (only site I participate in) at Renderosity this year. I hope you enjoy my images, and if you have any critiques, I would appreciate them very much. I have ZERO experience or traing in any form of art so I can use all the help I can get.. LOL.
Again, Thanks for stopping by and be sure and say hello when you have time :)

Both the image and the diary entry are just absolutely fantastic, for lack of a better term. I felt myself transported back in time and witnessing the events as they happened. Extremely well done, Don! Faved

Spectacular scene and well complimented by the diary entry. Beautiful colour on the trees and just LOVE the covered bridge!

Oh this looks just fantastic in close up with that cracked oil paint finish. As I've been telling you, I think you really have found your calling with Vue and with props by Gill you cannot go wrong. You have created a perfect period piece.
