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 has a dreamy, almost painterly look to it, rather unusual, I think. I love the scene! I'd put the camera someplace other than in the middle of the river, though, for better composition.

This rework, worked very well, Bob! It kind of looks like here where we are some 6 inches over our average on rain for this time of year!! That low lighting is very well suited for this POV, gives it that soothing evening feel!!!

Wow, this is gorgeous. Looks like a view of the Eastern Sierra Nevada foothills near Bodie, CA. As for the view from the middle of the stream, it works for me quite well.

Thank you all. I will be reworking this again trying to fix the lighting a little better.

Absolutely stunning! (And if I've used that exclamation on other of your works, well, what can I say? That's the reaction I get with so many of your renders! :) Beautiful creation!
