portraying strange light in its own way

Another Lightness - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2004

There are times when the mountains seem otherworldly - particularly I have been fascinated by the light that emerges on the mountains seemingly right under the overcast.

It is about perspective and distance - that creates the illusion - but than again - seeing is about seeing - not about what is scientifically there.  And in this case, it is also about an impression.

This piece captures the strangeness of light and abstractly portrays a phenomena that would be less real done a different way.
