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.

Awesome uncluttered image, Bob, great contrast from the left side of the image, in the distance, to the right side close up. Hazy to clear! I see no color casting not sure if it is the image, my new contacts or my iPad lol!

Very Alienesque! Would look good with a couple or tree planets and/or moons and maybe a spaceship!! Not a complaint, but it is the Best Art that acts like muse and this piece really has a Strong Dreamy Abstraction!!! I really like how you did the rocks and the small bushes add so much to the sense of scale!!!! Super Piece of Work, Bob!!!!!

Very desolate- almost alien. Love the shadows on the foreground terrain. Super twisted strata and layers! Would be really spooky with an old, derelict airplane half buried out there in the ground.
