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.

Wow Pat, Du hast in Deinem Bild ein sehr dramatisches Spiel von Licht und Schatten eingefangen, das mir sehr gut geflt. Auch Terrain und Strata sind grortig. Nur find ich, das der Himmel ein wenig zu freundlich wirkt.

RodolfoCiminelli
Impresionante paisaje Pat...!! la vista en diagonal produce un movimiento realmente muy interesante...!! excelente profundidad...!! la luz del sol colandose entre las nubes produce sectores con sombras suaves, las luces hacen que las texturas resalten de forma magnica

Very Beautiful lived in Nevada spent time on open range you have captured that wide open expression, reality isn't always as pretty a blue, whish it was. Like the depth of field focus and the rock on the right makes the size right. Nice Job! Lighitng on the Messa also good move!

This is a breath taking image, I like the texture breaking of different parts of terrain from each other and also the weird light at the center...good work
