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.

Everything is excellent except for that bright yellow line across the center....its almost like a carpenters chalk line or level laser line and detracts the eyes away from an awesome image...superb work!!!

beautiful strata and surface work, the eye is led in to the main mountain very nicely and the foreground surface loses none of its detail

It seems that one has to be very quick to comment one of your images without feeling like a parrot ;-) I'm late so I just can repeat what the others said: Excellent surface with a well chosen color palette, beautiful terrain and atmo. I agree with 'bost' that the eye is led in to the main mountain very nicely and agree with 'Dotthy' that the landscape looks very natural. Oh, and not to forget I agree with 'twistednoodle' about "What is a WIHD folder?" LOL, Greetings from the parrot ;-)
