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)Â 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 :)

Oh my, what an absolutely adorable for an important message. 35% of our children graduating are functionally illiterate, that is scary. Is it the schools, the parents or society? It is travesty. Beautifully done Dennis

And why not Dennis you made very well add. You know it is necessary to put some as much as possible so that our work dominates the hearts of the first glance and hop it feels to attract towards the benefits of contemplation. I like much the amazement of the children. It like is more accentuated prowesses interviews and their eyes scintil of joys to small nothing. Cheer and mile mercies ((5++)) Et pourquoi pas Dennis tu as très bien fait de rajouter . Tu sais il faut en mettre le plus possible pour que notre oeuvre domine les coeurs du premier regard et hop elle se sent attirer vers les bienfaits de la contemplation . J'aime beaucoup l'émerveillement des enfants .Il est comme plus accentué de prouesses entrevues et leurs yeux scintillent de joies à un petit rien . Bravo et mile mercis ((5++))

I always wondered what the Dish and Spoon did together after they ran away...lol. Anyway, excel image Dennis. Very true about our youth reading. It can really open the mind to possibilities that alternatives such as TV and Movies can't begin to touch. I started with "Space Cat" and in my teens it was "Doc Savage" (Kenneth Robeson) and the "Lensman Series" (E.E. Doc Smith) that greatly shaped who I would become. Bravo and have a great Thanksgiving my friend. Dave :^)
