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.

This is a wonderful image. The terrain is so very real for parts in the west. You really nailed reality with this one. Really great render.

You know, to be honest I'm not crazy about this foreground. The close shaded area is a bit of a let down and the way the terrain works with the POV is a little odd. Now, that being said, the background and the sky are just stunning, and also the water is 100% perfect!!!
Dotthy
A wonderful piece of landscape art Bob. I love the pov and the mood!!!!!
Tangled-Universe
Very beautiful! Nice water and great subtle strata and surfacing. But I've to agree a little with Sanosoke about the foreground. Nevertheless, awesome image!

Looking at this image I could almost picture the drive in...not an easy feat from all the way over here in Australia......thanks for the trip in to this wonderful view. Clever work on that left section..just the right amount of shadow to give that great sense of depth the image has.
