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 turned out Exceptionally Well! I do like the worn path look over the tire tracks much better. That is the way old roads around here look!! Hope the pup finds his way home. May have to call "Hope for Paws" to come find him. Super Work on this, Bob!!!

Thank you for your visit Mark. This was a fun and learning project.

So realistic, you even have ruts in the road! I want to drive up that road. It would be even better if you put a few small rocks here and there in the road. A road with ruts always has a few. The dog looks thirsty. Excellent pose.

Thanks Pat, The gravel road has some small pebbles; but, you'd have to make a close up with the camera to see them.

As a whole, very, very nice but the road is just too much!!!! Love it. Now all I have to do is import one like that into DAZ (LOL). Oh well, we all have our issues (heavy sigh).
