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 a very nice picture with good realism. Possibly a little too late in the day, but certainly such scenes can be magic.

Good work witha glen5700's file - I've toyed a bit with it myself. A bit redundant, but effective. I like the majesty of the scene most of all with the looming mountain range.

I like the cotton ball clouds. Beautiful scene and perfectly lit. Love the mountains, rock textures and grass. Excellent, as always.

I do like this, But, as per your instructions. I think the grass is to perfect, more like lawn grass instead of field or mountain grass and the the large rocks are to noisy for me. You live near Large rocks and in most cases they are somewhat smooth with cracks running through them and with smaller rocks on them. But again, I do like this and the grass, .......... I need it in my yard!!!
