Description
Well it's been a while since I made an image. It's been kind of crazy for me lately. My wife of 18 years ran off with her boyfriend last month. I have a 7 yearold daughter to take care of and I have multiple sclerorsis and can barely walk. I have a gallery showing in downtown Reno in a couple of weeks and then in another showing the day that one ends. Been spending a lot of time printing,streching canvas and framing. Just haven't had much time to make much art but I needed something to calm me down and making this image helped a lot. Hope you enjoy.

It is absolutely beautiful. Did you model the building? Sounds like you have had your hands full lately. Hopefully things will be better soon! At least you still and your daughter and your beautiful artwork!
Very nice!..Keep your chin up Lon. You may be going through some tough times right now, but on the bright side your artistic talent is respected and appreciated by many people. Its always a pleasure to see you work...Keep it up!
Certainly have a lot on your plate, and you can still make amazing work like this. With out a doubt one of the most talented artist Ive ever seen.. hope it all works out, gl.
Just don't cut your ear off or something. (Lame attempt at humor) The greatest artists of history often suffer truely. As seraph stated, keep your chin up. This is lovely. -- 3d_e

Great image as always!!! I was missing your art.
Since joining Renderosity, you are the first Artist that I added to my favorites. This is truly a work of Art. Can someone tell me what the heck is Architecture, a prog or plugin to max or something? A Few thoughts: "Behind every great man is a good woman", "..with God all things are possible.." "..Faith, the grain of a mustard seed.." Sincerely, Nick
I always know when the image starts to open I will be pleased--this time I was amazed--this is more than beautiful architecture, this is a render with soul. And with your life so chaotic I am even more amazed you were able to focus and make this beautiful image. I am in awe... and I hope that things in your life go more smoothly in the future!
I already see sunshine and help from God in your image... and peace too... It's a wonderful piece of art! I wish you all the best!
excellent work! wonderful!!
she doesn't know what she's missing......a very respective artist and a lovely child.....i really glad to see you back in action coz to me my PC is a place for me to express all my feeling....you are always GOOD and EXCELLENT as ever....may god smile on you and your daughter.....
Thanks everybody for your kind words :) I have my daughter,my art, lots of family, and lots of friends. I'm going to be fine...just kind of busy ;o)
I think this is the most beautiful image I have ever seen. I don't know how else to express it but to keep it simple. I know the ravages of MS and walking or not you are one terrific man and it's her loss that she gave you up. Seems to me that compared to a man that create such beautiful things, bring dreams to life, other men would be boring compared to you. I live not far from Reno I'd love to try and catch your showing, my husband and I are big, big fans :o). Hang in there ( sorry I think that was a bad Gallery pun humor :oS ) your dreams will come true I know.
I observe the imprint of love in your work,and as Celine Dion has sung : "Your love can't be denied ..." ,with great hopes for an artist I really admire .
Wonderful image.. Im so glad I found your work. The gallery is brilliant .Keep it up!! Phil
I've seen many of your works, and I dare say they're all beautiful. I'm surprised how a person with your strength could be complaining about daily life, cuz I believe that ppl who are capable of creating such masterpieces, can handle everything. U hang in there, U got a good heart, I see this as a fact reflected in your work. Good Luck.
Magnificiet piece of ART, best wishes to you and hope all improves.
the building in the background looks awsome. And the vegetation looks natural and realistic as allways. In times of sorrow we must draw faith from our strengths and whats still clean and pure in our lives. talent like this and a daughter should be enough to keep your head above the waves of sorrow that come your way. Just stick to your faith and it will keep you afloat. best wishes to you
so pretty, i can die by looking ur pic, i feel like in heaven
wow! (u left me speechless). this is truly beautiful

It is hard to descibe the beauty I feel when I look at your images. It is encouraging and humbling to hear your story and then see how you channel your pain.
