I'm retired, but so busy I haven't posted anything in a while. When do work, I mostly use Carrara 8.5 Pro and Daz Studio for composition and rendering, and Fireworks and Photoshop for postwork and textures. I'm more a storyteller than an artist: I like scenes that tell a story -- or strongly suggest one.
I live in Sacramento, California USA with my wife. Kids are grown and gone, so we volunteer at our church, and travel as much as time and wallet will allow!
I REALLY appreciate the many great artists here who have been SO wonderful with their encouragement and pointers. PLEASE comment or just say "Hi". I appreciate your words good or bad: It energizes me, grows me - and keeps me going.

Very wonderful scene, Larry I can hear her now, 'come on you stupid horse! we've got to get back to the castle for the ball! the horse is saying, 'not a chance! You'll be married off to some oaf of a prince who can barely pour pee out of a boot with the instructions on the sole!' stay with me and we'll ride free!

The forest has a realy nice depth to it. Very mysterious.

A very beautiful image! The god rays are gorgeous, so are the horse and the lady's poses! The POV from a dark spot inside the forest adds a dramatic touch of mystery to the image! But the little detail that makes the image even more eye-catching is the reflective water plane in the foreground! This is the little detail that adds tremendously to the image's photo-realism!

Love it :) The contrast between the dark trees in the foreground and lighter area in the back creates a excellent focus. The effects are good as well.

This is quite a stunning beautiful piece. I won't mind if your muse continues to elude you for a short while, if this is what your 'playing around' begets.
