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.

I love the clarity in atmosphere and sky. The vegetation and ground cover create a wonderful autumn desert; those ravens look like they are flying fast! Wish we could swap cities- I'm not in the mood for winter this year. Excellent scene!

Bob...I know I said I wouldn't call you Hoover Man again but...wow...you tempt me...still making us all seem like rank amatures huh...you still suck...but at least you're helpful and nice about it...LMAO!!! Luv ya man...even though you haven't sent me any files lately...(hint) :)

Mark, I was going to send you a 'Hoover' so you could clean up your act; but, I thought you'd take it the wrong way ...however, what files would you like? You're welcome to any files you want. The terrain I used above is a simple, procedural one that is very useful for many types of scenes ...do you want it? Let me know.

I like your colors and the global warm effect.
