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.

The tire tracks go where they should for a vehicle that is sliding on the mud, and the mud has just the right texture for making the truck slide. A very interesting image. Nice mountains, and I like the low clouds.

Thank you for your comments. This one took more time putting together than any other image I've created. The best advice and recommendations came from some members of the 'Planetside forum'.

Extraordinary work Bob! This render really shows what hard work, taking your time and attention to fine detail can produce. The outcome equals the effort! This one gets the fine distinction of being Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious...and a favorite too! I wish they had a rating of 10 for images like this!

Thank you Pete, I appreciate your visit very much. I owe a lot to 'Dune' for his help on this and other image over the past months. The road, water setup and the tracks were all rather tricky getting things right. I had spent a lot of time on this one.
