From innocence, the teens, man hood, the joy of parenthood, success, and to reap all of life's rewards with retiring and becoming a proud Grandfather; I feel truly blessed! Sure, there were many unwanted moments along the way, many of which, time has not erased. Some so devastating that I am amazed I have survived. But, only one wish I have made, and only one wish has been granted, "to be Happy"! Delusional and in denial, maybe; But, I'm glad I did not wish "to be Miserable"! :)
BIO
Someone told me I'm 57 (Now 62) and single. Really? I have always been a child at heart. So it is easy to see why I prefer Faeries! I did not need Peter Pan to convince me to "Never grow up!". Unfortunately, that's not the way our species. So on the exterior, I had to. But, deep within, my child remained. I prefer to be positive, supporting the soft, sweet, and gentle. I paint the world in that light. I'm not blind to the horrors of the world, and I stay sharp to the perils that confront us all. I simply do not allow that to alter how I view the world. I believe "Everything is beautiful", "Lead by example", "Love thy fellow Man", and possibly the greatest truth of all, "You can be what ever you desire, as long as you believe and pursue". I have always love the arts in all categories! I have palyed the guitar for over 45 years and have written over 100 songs. I am a minstrel and enjoy sharing my gift of song. I have dabbled in the visual arts since childhood. I won 2nd place in a High School Architectural State wide contest, and wanted to pursue that field, but somehow got sidetracked. The Sixties! During my middle thirties, I renewed my interests in the Arts and studied most of the Master Artists of oil painting, but struggled with its application. It was during my profession as Programmer Analyst, that I was exposed to CAD systems and its use in design, and found the Media right for me. I started with TrueSpace and CorelDraw starting in the early 90's, but it was not until I retired that I was able to give Art the attention it requires! I truly enjoy Poser and Vue and started to work with these tools in earnest in 2002. But I owe my biggest inspiration and push to Renderosity and all the Artists herein, regardless of their skill levels and talents. This community provides a place for expression and a shared interest > The Love of Art! Thanks for taking the time to get to know me. I hope you enjoy my images. Hugs, Dennis :)

Dave is to torment sorrows and I believe well that all to give again you to him the taste of revive of his hopes. Mile mercies still ((5++)) Donner à un ami dans le besoin c'est une joie qui nous rend vulnérables à ses peines . Bravo pour ton grand coeur mon ami . Un ami comprend les détresses de son ami.

Excellent fractal Dennis.. Yea it's too bad some folks take this all so seriously.. this is a community first and foremost.. a place to have fun and display your creative efforts.. whatever they are. It's also free $$$. A place to express yourself in art and words. Create a little controversy if you like. But attacking a person's character is uncalled for. I've had a few hecklers in my gallery, all have backed down when confronted. I like criticism, even negative.. but no sense in name calling or suggesting someone cheats. Anyway.. Dave is a great guy and this is an fantastic Dedi (sort-of) for our mutual friend. Bravo and best wishes from Dave :^)

This is so perfect for Dave! He's a guy whose naturally a very positive, caring, warm person, and that just about always prevails. Sunshine breaks up dreary days, and Dave is one of those rays of sunshine here at Rendo! That's what I love about this community, despite the crud that comes down, we rally round and suppport each other against the nasties, whatever they may be. You've surely created more happiness here Dennis, and brought a smile to Dave's face!

DENNIS: WONDERFULLY done!! (T.P. does not like 'negative' either, but AT TIMES, one has to defend their 'honor' - If you don't stand for SOMETHING you'll fall for ANYTHING, right? WINK). Blessings, my friend, T.P.
