Welcome to my little corner of Renderosity. I am interested in many things besides art, for example, languages. I read 15 languages, and I have 140 languages on my web site. I don't really write other languages, though, so don't be surprised if I leave a broken comment for you. :) Please feel free to leave me a comment in another language, too.
Prints of my art can be purchased at deviantARTBIOThese days, my entire life is gathered around art in some form or another. I have a bachelor's degree in art, which I chose so I wouldn't have to sit in a classroom all day listening to people talk. :) I got very serious about art after the last of our seven children left home. Prior to that, I was busy homeschooling them. Besides visual arts, I love to make music. I play piano, organ, recorder (a wooden instrument somewhat like a flute), and classical guitar, and I sing. In the past, I have also played gamelan (a gamelan orchestra consists of sets of tuned metal gongs and bells with a couple of drums, and originated in Asia in places like Bali), I rehearsed for awhile with the local balalaika orchestra, playing autoharp, and I have studied with Xochimoki, a Latin American native musical group. In addition to music, I practice the martial art of taekwondo. I have a second degree black belt. Concrete art for me includes pottery (I sometimes design my own glazes, and I especially love raku), a little bit of sculpture, needlepoint (I use fancy yarns and stitches and sometimes invent my own), macrame, circular weaving, and I draw in color pencil. I also like to design artistic web sites. I have a passion for photography, and I am slowly working my way through scenic sites in Arizona and neighboring states. In digital art, I make art in Terragen, Bryce, Vue d'Esprit, Ultrafractal, Xenodream, and Apophysis. I am trying to learn Mojoworld. In addition to my sponsor site, you can see more of my art at my professional site: Extraplicity. Prints of many of my images are available at deviantART.
Spiritually, I am an heiress to the wonderful doctrinal legacy of Martin Luther, and a joint heiress with Christ. Soli Deo Gloria.

Love the bleak sky and the use of the overhang method - nice surface too

Saddam had no heart, no moral and no guts. Otherwise your pic is OK.

What does Saddam mean? Sad and damned? I don't feel sorry for him, but he has a heart. This heart must be a place like hell - he gave many many people a taste of it... Ok enough! Pat, dein Bild transportiert wirklich viele Stimmungen, Aggression, Verzweiflung etc. Und der Himmel ist ganz gleichgtig darer - sanft und sch!

vielleicht muss man gerade im Fall Saddam und die USA offen sein f neue, ungewohnte Blickwinkel, wie in deinem Bild, Pat... es gibt in dieser Gallerie abertausend und mehr Perspektiven, Millionen von Farben, Grden, Texturen und Mlichkeiten... aber hinter jedem Rechner sitzt ein Mensch mit einem Herz und einem Traum. Me der auch noch so weit unten begraben sein... rigens... toller Himmel! :-)

@Eoin: Actually, I didn't use overhang. :) @ metamog and joshus hund: I agree with you. @Ronjrah: It would make my heart glad if somehow Saddam could be redeemed, but I will never forget his victims. I think he long ago lost his dream, and I doubt if he will ever regain it.

Throughout history we seem to be impacted by these negative creatures. Hopefully, as medical science advances, we might find a way of culling out the bad genes in such characters before they are born. Your Picture: An excellent piece of creativity relating to the current news.

Renderosity has a very bad bug. It keeps putting back a second copy of my comments above, and I keep deleting it, and it keeps coming back. I give up. If the comment appears a second time again, I'm gonna leave it. But it's Renderosity's fault, not mine.
