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.

Hot Damn! Perfect POV which is your forte. Fantastic Surfaces and Water! All you need is a touch of a wet line. Still Beautiful Pic and Render Bob! Rated Excellent +++

Agree with Buzzzzz!! Beautiful image!!
lazydog
Superb! Surfaces, terrain, atmos, water, sky - erm have I missed anything? It's all great:) Just nitpicking but, the water seems quite transparent. If it was a flash flood it would pick up a lot of silt wouldn't it?

This is gorgeous Bob, water, sky, surface and POV! I think this is easily one of your best.

Nice realism. Perhaps the transparency is a little too high... Anyway a perfect render v

The sandy colors and muddy water make it feel very southwestern (or WY :) ). The grass feels just a tad too green for the rest of the environment though. Maybe a little closer to a sage color?
fractalinda
Realistic and awesome..with a somewhat eerie atmosphere and mood. Beautiful and excellent work, in all aspects.

Very realistic Bob & definately worth repeating! Southern California lost several people this year to flash floods, either because they were not prepared, or did not heed the warnings!Mother Nature is beautiful but that beauty can sometimes be deceiving & flash floods can deluge an area in minutes!Even expert swimmers have been caught off-guard!

Beautiful. Great Pov and surfaces. I do agree with lazydog in that the water does seem a bit transparent, but that's small picky stuff.
