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 Rita. I still have much more to learn about Terragen 3. Wish I had a degree in mathematics, it would help understanding the use of the 'function shaders'.

Dynamite Bob! I was going to Delve through the Dictionary to find some "D" words but I Decided that would be Dreadfully Discourteous...so I Didn't. Despite that, a Damn fine Display of rock Decay. At first I thought the rock was Dacite, Diorite or perhaps Diatomite, but Deemed it to be something Different...Definitely. The plant Distribution is Dandy and very Desert like...Delightful Depth and Distance too! As an art teacher I would give this a well Deserved "D"...D'oh!

Thank you Pete. My guess is that maybe the stone is a combination of Navajo sandstone and some calcified rock although the land-form appears similar to that of a cinder cone of an ancient volcano.
