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.

Glad to have you back Bob! This is an oustanding render! WOW! Agree with you on the title! Love that song! You know it must have taken centuries for all that dust to settle! ;>D

WELCOME BACK. Bob this is an awesome render I am working on something with the same mood and you just gave me the inspiration I need to complete it.

great work as always Bob, I love all that distant fog (dust) The only thing I have trouble with, is I can't tell the size of it, the terrain makes it seem very big compared to us, but the textures seem like it's pretty small. Anyway, I love it

Bob: The surface is so real I am starting to itch from the dust and sand. It also shows that these sand storms are quite common for this area. The sky really adds to the very heart of the picture.. Well done.. V

"Dust in the Wind" is one of my favorite songs and this image lives up to it. Wonderful render Bob, and I hope you had a great trip!
