remembering water, sky and evening light

Seafogged - digital painting - Dan Beck - 2005

Because I referred to this piece in a previous article today, I thought it would be a good idea to write about it.

The digital painting is from last year and is in some ways a one of a kind. I think I just haven’t been spending enough time at the beach. Or perhaps I am not finding it directly inspiring when I do go.

This particular time I remember the hole in the sky, I remember the foam on the water, I remember the peaceful light as the fog engulfed all of us who were walking that day.

I also remember feeling like I hooked the piece, that I had captured the evening, that I had used the medium and found the language to express something inexpressible.

I have seen and shown the work printed and framed 24×30″, but I believe the optimum size art print is even a tad bit larger.
