Absolutely beautiful! Outstanding work!

(my server drops out these days, so if you got a few ebots, I apologize...) Your antennae must have been turned on, because this is the state of mind I'm trying to reach now. (I'm not doing a very good job of it, but at least I'm trying.) A very peaceful, but, in the background, very intense vision. The light here is remarkable. It's like a mist or fog, but one can see that it's light. And it dissolves the background---which isn't very far away---into an all-encompassing glow. Even the sky is partially obliterated by it. I don't do Vue, or any other 3D software, so I have no idea how this is done; but however you did it, you modulated it beautifully and organically. You always have very subtle and deep sense of light, whether bright or dark: You modulate light masterfully. Here, it seems to 'paint' the landscape, and turn the background hills into thought or feeling. I love the sole tree, as if to say spring is here. It feels like the Savannah...And the grazing animal (I assume a horse---my knowledge of animal species is so poor, I'll just say 'animal') (I mean, in S. Africa, it could be a dog, right? a very large chipmunk? a zebra whose stripes got together and formed a union? I'm so often wrong, I'll say 'animal')---it stands peacefully outside the long reach of that blanket of light; and he/she eats the grass peacefully. It feels like peace. And the daisies are new and everywhere, signs of spring just blooming. Well, T.S. Eliot wrote, in the famous opening to his "Wasteland," "April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land..." One of our teachers said, "that line applies to the US, but nowhere else, because in the US, early spring is barren, with dabs of life popping out of a barren landscape..." I always thought April was the same throughout the N. Hemisphere, just as October is in the S. Hemisphere: a world not yet in bloom, but giving signs everywhere. That's what this looks like, not cruel but light-bathed and gentle. The light washes mid-ground like cream...Thank you, Craig, for remembering and for applying your rich illuminated soul to a gift for me. I appreciate it more than you know. A beautiful vision from a beautiful heart, and I'm very grateful that you thought of me for my birthday. I hope life is finding you flourishing, this early fall in S.Africa, and I hope your loved ones and all the others you deal with everyday are well too, and taking in the glow that emanates from you every day. Thank you for a wonderful vision for my birthday. And the horse, btw, though in stark contrast, hue-wise, is wholly at home in this light-washed landscape. Thank you for envisioning this beautiful scene for me.

Lovely scene!
