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.

Impressive - this almost looks like a photo. Good job!

Bob this looks cool but, you have to get away from the Cubic-B-Spline (soft) filter...my old eyes cannot see the details...it looks too soft or blurry. I have a large monitor and yes it is tuned correctly...your older TG images look crisp, sharp and fresh...your newer TG2 images seem a bit washed out...light and soft...please, try a sharp, saturated, contrasted type image...for me :)...just don't over-do it on purpose....make it nice. I'll work on less sharpness, contrast and saturation in my images...and put forth my best effort....we'll see what happens....

The lighting and pov makes this piccy fer sure. I love the soft tones of veg and sky and the subtle highlights on the veg are perfect! Looks like I'm about to climb over the hill and be welcomed by a helluva view. Love it!

Must be viewed full to appreciate; ultra-natural realism. Hang on, I'll get my shovel.

One of the best and most realistic close-ups I've seen, and your plant placement is spot-on. Beautiful view and and a superb combo of vegetation and colors. Excellent work, as always!

Except for the lighting I like this one a lot. Lots of nice details and a very natural sky.

I like the view and the lighting too! Only the textures of the ground itself in the larger view let you know that is a 3d work and not a photo!

we need tests to improve! and I could see that you learned a lot in your next renders! ;o)
