Mediums Which Always Have Good Results
Symbolic Language 6 - digital painting & art prints - Dan Beck 2007
Not particularly related to the above digital painting, but noteworthy to me - today is the day my family always celebrated my parents’ birthdays - actually a three day celebration with birthdays on the 9th and 11th of […]
technology’s quirks yield frustration’s art
Palette Crap - digital painting - art prints - Dan Beck 2007
As a result of upgrading my Mac’s operating system to something more fashionably late, my painting program has new and improved quirks. This seems to be the norm for technology - as I think about all the various pieces […]
Between Abstract and Representational
Feeling of Rain - digital painting - Dan Beck 2005
There was no impending rain today - I decided upon this piece as a result of the random gallery button (gallery chance) and random gallery page button - and I thought why not - it’s the time of year there could be.

Over the Top - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck -2003
My son Clif has a birthday today and that is enough reason to feature this piece. Though never one of my all time favorites, it spoke to him - not sure if it was color, the mix of abstract […]
exaggeration as explanation
Blue Clouds at Evening - digital painting - Dan Beck 2007
I haven’t made art prints available for this yet - of course, with a brand new piece, I can’t tell if anyone will groove on it like I do. Plus I have yet to get a good print - my […]
passing impression and live oak tree character
Monterey Hiway 1 - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2005
I thought I would pick a piece today that I don’t believe I’ve written about. I remember looking over my right shoulder as I drove by this scene - an impression, yes.
The live oak trees on the […]
