Thank you for stopping by and for viewing my work. I am a mother of three wonderful stepchildren, a wife to a loving and supportive husband, and I also work full time. I have no formal training in art, but from a young age wanted to be an artist. The problem was I wasn't any good at drawing or painting. I couldn’t translate from my brain to the paper/canvas what I saw.  I did have other talents, singing is a passion of mine, I sing in the shower and car every day. (grins) I also dabble with stain glasswork, scrapbook, stamping, embroidery, needlepoint and the list goes on.
December 2006 I found Daz Studios and for the first time was able to at least get some of the images I saw in my head out. But it wasn't as easy as it seemed. Nothing good ever is. I started posting images on Renderosity and met some wonderful people who invited me to join a group of people who all used Daz Studios and so my learning increased. We now have a wonderful forum called Daz Artist Guild dedicated to helping people who want to improve their skills using Daz Studios.ÂÂ
Our motto: Dream~Creativity~Render~Reality
So if you get the chance please stop by and say hello! Until then, as a friends says...
ÂÂ
Render on!!

DLG I really like the environment... a lot. The only thing is there seems to be something about the way she is lit relative to her surroundings that I can't quite put my finger on. Of course, it is very late for me... my eyes may be crossing. I really do like the composition! :)

Nice scene and beautiful colours.

DLG, this image has the WOW-factor, blows me (nearly) away. Unfortunately, the lady has a grin as if she has been lifted several times... like an ageing hollywood star.

~ DLG ~ Love the composition! Lighting needs some tweaking. The grin or smile needs to be adjusted some, dosen't quite look real. Look at the eye settings and should have parimeters for smiling eyes.

Great job! ( I know it sound caned but I really mean it) All those plants/trees you put in must take a long time to figure out the light for it!!!!!

DLG Nice work.

DLG, Such gorgeous surroundings you really did such a beautiful job of filling this image. I do agree with the expression advice and maybe one of the photo realistic skins might have worked better but also maybe dimming the lights a little would make her blend much better....Shannon ;}

DLG- - -> How long ago did you do this? Lovely scene. Some of the above advice could make it better but I think it looks nice as it is.
