Sorry it’s been a bit longer than normal between new wallpapers. I took some time to create a winter version of “Shady Creek” but I will be holding onto it for a while longer. Once that was finished I decided I wanted to do one more autumn scene for the year. They are some of my absolute favorite to create.

When Jessie and I moved to California 20+ years ago I found the thing I missed the most about the Midwest was the changing of the seasons and the autumn colors. I’ve tried to capture s bit of that magic in this render and I hope you all enjoy it!

The first day of Sept seems like a great day for my first Autumn render of the year. I actually started this one shortly after I posted “Shady Creek (Night)” in last July but I didn’t want to share it during the middle of summer so I held onto it. I applied some finishing touches over the past couple of days and I am happy to share it with you all now.

Hope you enjoy it. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments 🙂

I usually like to do an abstract or two every month but I just noticed that I hadn’t done anything new all year! My apologies to those of you who enjoy a break from reality as much as I do.

“Sapient” was created as a learning exercise with Houdini and I hope you enjoy it!!

If there’s a day version you can bet I’m going to attempt a night scene. I know lots of folks prefer darker wallpapers for their desktops and I love to provide options. This night version of “Vanaheim” was a bit more challenging than usual for a number of reasons but I think it turned out nicely.

I hope you enjoy it! 🌙

Continuing my planetscape series here that started with Niflheim and Muspelheim way back when. My traveler also returns to take in the scene.

I hope you enjoy it!
