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 Fabulous, Bob, the way the fog hugs the watre as it slowly makes it's way up the hill! I think it is called freezing fog and something I don't to come in contact with, but is Lovely to look at!! Beautiful rework on this one!!!

I think you just about nailed it. This is a great render! Since this is a winter scene, would it make sense to make some of the foreground vegetation brown?

This is fantastic! Love the glint of the sun on the water. The fog reminds me of yesterday. We were socked in. Highly unusual for the desert.

One word, Bob -BOOM! You nailed this one. Excellent composition, and the lighting is fantastic. My low sun angle scene attempts have not gotten this good yet.

Unbelivable realism here from the one and only Bob! Looks wonderful, i like the mist and the hill to the right. Your terragen-gallery looks more and more like a photograph-gallerie....You have a very strong artistic imagination for landscape-design, it is always a pleasure to watch these beautiful places you create. I wish you all the best (healthfullness & creativity) for the new year Bob!
