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.

This is really a gift for my eyes and again one of your best works ... Thanks!

Wonderful scene- as I look at it, I get the feeling we are on the edge of where the plains begin to give way to desert. I'll bet those trees have tap roots a mile long to reach down to the water far below. This is the kind of place where you have room to breath and wander.

nice work, actually you do tend to get sparse vegitation around big trees so this rings true as a render, excellent

You are quickly becoming a master of TG2 and this one proves it...most excellent!!

Thank you all. @ Mark; wish I were proficient enough to create some of these presets on my own where I could come up with 100% of all settings. That is a long way off. As one who is still learning, I have a long way to go before Terragen 2 becomes second nature to me. Yet, learning from some of the pros is a fun experience.
