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.

Understand Pat, I really do... :O)

Sorry, Pat and Ariz, a little story doesn't make a good pic and I don't understand Ariz ranking. It's a nice beginner-like pic, that's all, and you could improve it by many ways. I really think that renderosity needs sincere rankings and comments, and not excessive graciousness... that's the only way for all of us to improve our skills :)

@ hillrunner: I started considering redoing the image as soon as I put it up. I think you are right. :)

You must of had alot of fond memories while making this image Pat! I enjoyed reading what you wrote and appreciate you sharing something from your heart! Even if it doesn't hit the HOT 20s..:)

A very delightful little story with a charming Terragen render to illustrate it. Perhaps another genre such as TG & story or TG & creature would be a better choice for rating wherein I see no need for improvement of the image and as such could also be voted into the top 20. As a TG & story I rate it excellent.
Artzy
Wonderful!

Well maybe it isn't a great TG image, but you put up what you saw in your minds eye, and to me that is what art is about. You have experience you know what you are doing, to me this image is an expression of your feelings. Thank you for having the heart to share this with us!!!

Criticism, even if constructive can be brutal. We must all glean what we can from these comments and suggestions... and learn ... and apply! Thanks for sharing Pat.

Agree with Hill, while it is charming and the story is adorable, we need definitivly a "story and digital artwork" for this kind of render.
