Field Play paints a larger picture

Field Play - Gallery page - Digital Painting - 2005

Though I have written about this piece before, I found myself ready to use it earlier as an example of trying something new.

This has remained somewhat of a departure from most of my work. Generally, it is not all that clear that my work was painted on a computer - at least not immediately. But not in this case.

I don’t try to hide the origins, but I don’t feel that the work is about the medium either - I hope that it is about the work.

The things I particularly like about this piece are the black and white translucent worker and the wind-like movement of the hills and fields.

It also is quite suitable for a wide range of prints. The way the color fills the pages and the design and texture are so elaborate - makes it work well in all sizes.

I am very fond of this piece - plus local newspapers have printed the image and even recently it was referenced in a nice article by the leader of the blogs.

Bill doesn’t go by that, it just came out as I was writing and I thought it was funny.
