From innocence, the teens, man hood, the joy of parenthood, success, and to reap all of life's rewards with retiring and becoming a proud Grandfather; I feel truly blessed! Sure, there were many unwanted moments along the way, many of which, time has not erased. Some so devastating that I am amazed I have survived. But, only one wish I have made, and only one wish has been granted, "to be Happy"! Delusional and in denial, maybe; But, I'm glad I did not wish "to be Miserable"! :)
BIO
Someone told me I'm 57 (Now 62) and single. Really? I have always been a child at heart. So it is easy to see why I prefer Faeries! I did not need Peter Pan to convince me to "Never grow up!". Unfortunately, that's not the way our species. So on the exterior, I had to. But, deep within, my child remained. I prefer to be positive, supporting the soft, sweet, and gentle. I paint the world in that light. I'm not blind to the horrors of the world, and I stay sharp to the perils that confront us all. I simply do not allow that to alter how I view the world. I believe "Everything is beautiful", "Lead by example", "Love thy fellow Man", and possibly the greatest truth of all, "You can be what ever you desire, as long as you believe and pursue". I have always love the arts in all categories! I have palyed the guitar for over 45 years and have written over 100 songs. I am a minstrel and enjoy sharing my gift of song. I have dabbled in the visual arts since childhood. I won 2nd place in a High School Architectural State wide contest, and wanted to pursue that field, but somehow got sidetracked. The Sixties! During my middle thirties, I renewed my interests in the Arts and studied most of the Master Artists of oil painting, but struggled with its application. It was during my profession as Programmer Analyst, that I was exposed to CAD systems and its use in design, and found the Media right for me. I started with TrueSpace and CorelDraw starting in the early 90's, but it was not until I retired that I was able to give Art the attention it requires! I truly enjoy Poser and Vue and started to work with these tools in earnest in 2002. But I owe my biggest inspiration and push to Renderosity and all the Artists herein, regardless of their skill levels and talents. This community provides a place for expression and a shared interest > The Love of Art! Thanks for taking the time to get to know me. I hope you enjoy my images. Hugs, Dennis :)

Ooooh, sweet looking native faeries. Such a good idea! And with the ship in the background to add some sense of impending action of one sort or another, as well the wonderfully colored rays of the starfish and its giant sea turtle companion to add some novelty to the meaning of "pets"...I find this pleases my sense of fantasy adventure. Being into visual realism to some extensive degree, personally I would feel a bit more sublimed into the imagery if the water's surface tension would be less distinctive. I understand that at a macroscopic level water beads up in a perfect sphere, even on leaves after a rain, but the faeries aren't quite that diminutive, are they? By comparison to the sea turtle they appear to be quite small, but compared to the starfish they appear to be much larger. So in a quick, I would feel more drawn into the fantasy if the sea shore were wet just beyond the waters edge (evidence of little surface tension from a normal perspective), darker sand or sand with rivulets of running water as the ebbing waves drink back into the sea. But all in all, a wonderful composition

Oh I so wish I could be there. So warm, so enchanting, so peaceful. And of course such lovely faeries! The little extras really make this a wonderful piece. The parrot is my favorite ;) but the turtle, ship, and seashells are pretty cool too. Great job on this one!

Fantastic image with so much to look at! Love the POV (you know how I feel about POV's!) and the shadows are very well done too.

Excellent and delightful. I just got back from Hawaii. Didn't see any faeries, but spent much time on the beach and found shells and saw a number of sea turtles.
Darkwish
Really nicely done!
