originality and sameness
Three Way Figure 1 - original digital painting -Dan Beck 2007
Once again I shall try to defy the common sense meanings of original art and continue to demonstrate that there is more to original than one might originally think.
The above piece is one of three digital paintings. Each started with a very similar […]
original prints are the original art
Morning Fog Impression - digital painting for original art prints - Dan Beck 2007
I had the pleasure of seeing an artist’s linocuts over the weekend - both prints and the grooved linoleum itself. In his case - the plate is the reverse of the black and white he prints.
You can […]
original digital art - pigment prints
Original Article Black & White Vision
Original Article Colorized Vision
I find I can’t help mocking the whole concept of original art. This is obviously the same digital painting - but one has color and one doesn’t. In this case, the color wasn’t removed but added - yet they […]
revealing real and refined
Sunset Over Artichokes 1 - original digital painting - Dan Beck 2007

originality, style, and first generation prints
Strawberry Alley - digital art print - Dan Beck 2007

I am really […]
same figures differently
Air Hoe 1 - digital painting 4 original art prints - Dan Beck 2007
This was the first of three Air Hoe images which used the same figure. I changed my template to accommodate my new printing dimensions better. I have done some upgrades to my painting computer and have improved color […]
always affected by experience
Air Hoe 2 - digital painting - Dan Beck 2007
If you look at the posting from a few days ago - you will see that the air hoe figure is basically the same. This was the second of three Air Hoe pieces - all using the same figure and each […]
rendering familiar beautiful scene
Strawberry Alley - digital painting - Dan Beck 2007
Down the road from me is a view - that has been catching my eye since I first saw it seven years ago. It changes through the seasons but always has these overlapping hills through a small window through the eucalyptus trees.
