not letting a powerful piece stop the creative flow
Mntn Sails Again Mountains Sails
One of the things I have noticed about myself when it comes to creating is that I tend to not want to try to […]
creating composition from a section of scene
CrossFields - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2005
Everyday I drive by this scene, I think I should really do another piece - the fields are all different colors right now - including bright yellow.
But the scene is not inspiring me right now - just intellectually. When […]
digital medium conducive to representing layers of water washed sand
Beach Today - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2003
I wrote about this piece in July. One of the things I like about the new Blog Guide by Images is that I can keep track. If I do choose to write about […]
depth confusion and overlapping colors created unique painting and art prints
Mount 1 - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2004
I am surprised that I haven’t written about this piece. It is one of my favorites. I am particularly partial to the way the vegetation is portrayed at the base of the mountain.

printed piece improves upon monitor image - despite being original canvas
Field Flat - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006

And no matter how […]
unique figures - identical dress - same theme - different feeling
Sea of Backs - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006
When I first wrote about Bent Over Crowd I mentioned that it could have been entitled “Sea of Backs” - I knew I had to do it again.
So I started with a landscape […]
pattern of people and field - the stamp of repetition
Bent Over Crowd - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006
This digital painting feels different to me - I am not totally sure why - it is a pretty common theme now.
I see the workers in the fields every day - bent over […]
hidden figures are fun and hint at wading
Under the Corn - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006
I didn’t mention the aspect of water in this digital painting when I wrote about it recently. It is probably obvious that I see similarities between the fields and the ocean.
I entitled an article about a […]
