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.

Great POV and render. The shadow falling on the water very light seems unusual.

This is really nice, you certainly seem to be finding your own voice with these images, by that I mean that something that is distinctly yours is beginning to emerge.

@ ariz: Oops! Yes, I think I have a hole. I saw that while I was rendering and forgot about it later. Let's pretend it's a small pond. ;) @ everyone, thanks for your comments!

Belle rlisation. En marquant plus la limitation de l'eau cela avantagerait l'image. Mais c'est une remarque personnelle. Bravo!!!
Rids
Lovely surface work and great lighting :-) The only thing I am not sure about is the surface of the water which seems to be covered in lots of straight lines.

Agree with Rids, the water effect is cool but, almost resembles celophane...still a neat effect.. I like it...excellent work!!
TerraIncognita
Estoy de acuerdo con Rids acerca del agua, pero el resto del trabajo es extraordinariemente bueno.
