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 Hwy Dept has proposed a new road in this just discovered canyon. The blue line reps the highway. Progess shall not be stopped...
Dinalt
Wow - superb work Bob. It's like looking at a photo, the illusion of depth is superb. Love the water ripples & surf, really looks like a river should. Excellent & beautiful rendering.
Martchi
Pov,terrain ,textures, atmo magnifique !Bravo
JPSoft
I agree with Dinalt. Awesome terrain and pov. The depth is really fantastic and this river is itself a little masterpiece. I don't like the blue line (scratch from a stylo BIC)...?
sanosoke
an amazing terrain matched with an amazing POV is a very special and rare thing. You have found it here. I love the mist in the back, and the flowing river and the surface. The only thing I could critique is that I don't really like how bright this cloud is. It's a little off-setting. Great work though, love it.

Well BOB, what can I say that hasn't been said? Somehow that little blue line adds a "million miles" to this already awesome piece of work. Absolutely fantastic job!!!!

Nice line Bob, such graceful curves and excellent tonal qualities and the rest of the image isn't bad either ;)

wow, this is excellent... wonderful pov and impressive surface. but 2 things: 1.some rocks are a bit pointed (hope it's the right word) and 2.i don't like the bright green horizon... but i think this is a question of taste... :)
