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.

Thank you all for stopping by. This image will be re-rendered once the updated version of Terragen 2 is updated which will be soon. There are a number of issues here which need to be corrected as pointed out by the folks at the Planetside forum.

An outstanding render- I love the rock material layers and strata. An extra-terrestrial tourist perhaps?

Fahrenheit451
Great stuff Bob! Some say you are in a geographical "Hot Spot" there! Travis Walton of "Fire in the Sky" fame was abducted between Heber & Snowflake.He was just one of many thousands of reported sightings & abductions in Arizona.We might be better off if "They" don't exist! Especially if "They" turned out to be like the creatures in "Independence Day" :)
