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.

wow, bob this is a beautiful render. i love your water-settings - one more time :) and these 2d-clouds are very interesting. it is really impressive how they look at the edges, very "glowy" ;) the tsrata is well set, but imho a little too colorful, i see red and green... but this is my personal taste. i also like the soft fog in the background :) keep on rendering

Wonderful viewing angle...the clouds and reflections make this image special...but, whats that noise...do you hear a vacuum cleaner running? I think I'll just have to vote. :)

FanTAStic work, Bob!!! Looks like a lot of thought went into this. The American southwest - God's country.. Been there, done that and after seeing this want to do it again! Strata is subtle, sky a somehow perfect blue, and (imho) lose the faux surf, but yeah, you nailed it!
