I'm retired, but so busy I haven't posted anything in a while. When do work, I mostly use Carrara 8.5 Pro and Daz Studio for composition and rendering, and Fireworks and Photoshop for postwork and textures. I'm more a storyteller than an artist: I like scenes that tell a story -- or strongly suggest one.
I live in Sacramento, California USA with my wife. Kids are grown and gone, so we volunteer at our church, and travel as much as time and wallet will allow!
I REALLY appreciate the many great artists here who have been SO wonderful with their encouragement and pointers. PLEASE comment or just say "Hi". I appreciate your words good or bad: It energizes me, grows me - and keeps me going.

I understand. I rode the waves to the end. And am still there for her..... A lovely thought. A beautiful picture. I'm sure she will like it. Rob.

I went to her site right after you posted, but it was so very late and I could not get through it. I did today and while it had me crying it also is at a stage of hope. But still I feel very sad and perhaps I should not have ventured there in my own state of recovery. I understand the meaning of your message and you did an amazingly beautiful rendition of where she is at. It is making me cry again and so I have to stop. Roxy

A most beautiful and poignant image. I know the girls heartbreaking story and I'm sure that this will bring some comfort to Bella.

Well done. I viewed Bella's gallery some time ago, and have been privately and quietly cheering her on ever since. There isn't much more that can be said at this point, except to repeat "Well done."

What a very beautiful dedi you made here, i went to Bella's homepage and read her story and also looked at some of her pictures, she indeed is very talented and gifted and that at such a young age, wow!! Amazing!! I don't know what the story is behind this image you created for Bella but i can sense and feel that is must be something very sad and difficult. The image it self is very beautiful!! I love the supportive spirited idea. You did a great Job here!! 5++

Beautiful render and composition, Larry. A fine dedication to Bella. I have a feeling this could be about a deep sad story. I wish i had more time to study galleries... but i haven't as it is. You did a wonderful job on this.+5

Networthy - I took the journey through Bella's gallery and absorbed it all. There is nothing I can say about this image that could possibly do it any justice at all. I can only hope that my coworkers do not notice that I have been weeping. You have shown incredible class, compassion, and soul by posting this. I can ask though, that anyone else who takes the same journey save their comments until they have seen and absorbed the entire gallery. You will understand better why I ask this if you do as I suggest. I am a changed man this day.
