choronr Bio

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.

Description


This is the last of three posts of this image. I've done this to illustrate the work-in progress where is last image includes a reworked base surface hopefully giving the image a more realistic look.

The NWDA Tech Packs used here to enhance this Gila River area image are RArcher’s (Ryan Archer) ‘Dirt Pack’; Willi’s ‘Grass Pack’; and, FrankB’s ‘Stone Bed’ which includes the stones and a ‘Hero Rock’. Other vegetation includes lightning’s ‘3Bushes’, two of which are used here in varying colors.

The Gila River – The source of which begins in western New Mexico and travels west through Arizona and on to join the Salt River where both together empty into the Colorado River. In Arizona, the river is stopped by the Coolidge Dam; from there on through central and western Arizona, the river is dry except times during the intermittent rainy season which occurs mid June through mid September.

The vegetation looks great Bob. Can't really see what your talking about as far as the dirt and rocks...but it does look dirty and rocky!

Danny_G ()  posted at 9:58PM Mon, 15 June 2009

LOL, I could never get tired of those clouds creeping up. Excellent realism.

choronr ()  posted at 10:52PM Mon, 15 June 2009

@ 'abreojos': Joe, you need to look back at the previous version to see the surface difference.

sossy ()  posted at 1:28AM Tue, 16 June 2009

the mud in front looks perfect! but for my taste you should have put less mud in the water in front. But amazing study you are showing us! wish I could work with all the layers like you do! ;o)

mairekas ()  posted at 1:40AM Tue, 16 June 2009

Fantastic image!

ariz ()  posted at 2:43AM Tue, 16 June 2009

Excellent Robert, Excellent.

Lissy ()  posted at 2:46AM Tue, 16 June 2009

Super combination of vegetation, dryness, mountains and wonderful clouds! I love it

WeeLaddie ()  posted at 3:59AM Tue, 16 June 2009

It's a nicely balanced scene, Bob. Roughing up the soil by the waterside, and foliage variation adjustments are well directed improvements. The cumulus clouds (from cloud pack) are a bit too solid for my taste (I like them a bit softer). A worthy entry in the NWDA comp. BTW: "Willi" should be Walli.

azrabella ()  posted at 4:19AM Tue, 16 June 2009

Just an incremental improvement, at least, to my weary eyes. However, it's a masterpiece whichever way...

Savage_dragon ()  posted at 7:20AM Tue, 16 June 2009

I like this one the best, of course. I like that you hardened up the mud a bit. It looked more swampish the other way. Tree is looking good. A little more like a Palo Verde. Now, its a photograph. ;)

The clouds look so clear and real.... fantastic light and atmo... fantastic vegetation !!

carlx ()  posted at 12:04PM Tue, 16 June 2009

Superb and realistic final version, Bob!!!

This is really outstanding!

ppetersen ()  posted at 7:31PM Tue, 16 June 2009

Stunning Bob... the clouds are still what grab my eye. Well them and the rocks and the water LOL... You know I love this scene and it' creates all sorts of written words in my head, which is what any great picture will do.
