Beach Today – digital painting / art prints – Dan Beck 2003

On my refrigerator is a 8 1/2 by 11 inch print of this piece. I was looking at it earlier today thinking about how much I like the way I represented the ocean at the time.

The digital painting is primitive in many ways – something I am well aware is in much of my art … but then also quite sophisticated. The wall of water works – with white water which looks like a woodcut – it has layers and height which really captured that day.

The bird – which is a little gawky (and charming I might add) was actually a pretty good representation of what I found out later to be a marbled godwit.
