positives of simple water and complex interpretation of sand

Monterey Bayish - digital painting /art prints - Dan Beck 2003

In some ways I find this piece a tad choppy - a tad symmetrical - but then again it is also a piece with a wonderfully simple take on the water and complex take on the sand.

The patterns in the dunes, I still find fascinating and even more so when viewing an actual art print.

After completing it, I noticed a figure of a woman or girl laying in the sand - yes it is still a bit abstract - but I see her clearly in pigtails and that gave the digital painting a whole other dimension.
