color changed – backs remain
Fielding – digital painting / art prints – Dan Beck – 2005
Despite the fact that the mountains and land just stop when they reach the left side of the painting - and despite the fact the sun, mountains and fields all look rather fantastic – this is one of my favorite digital paintings to be converted into art prints.
This was the second time I had even tried to paint figures – the first was out my window. But this time, I saw the pickers – I saw the curves in their backs – I saw how unbelievable their posture really was – and I felt they had to be in the fields of the painting.
I don’t know that anyone likes this as much as I do – being fantastic and real perhaps takes away some of the power.
I don’t really know; but I know that I still see this scene daily – the colors have been changed to protect the innocent – but the backs remain the same.
