size of print can help you to feel the scene
Wave Spray – digital painting / art prints – Dan Beck 2004
As I look at this piece, I realize I have not been taking advantage of the close proximity to the beach. I know I am not alone in this – but I hate to think of myself as taking things for granted.
The above piece works beautifully large – no really large – where you feel the spray and imagine the smoothness of the sand.
This is both the beauty and the disadvantage of this medium. For some landscape art - large is what makes it work. The above digital painting is an all right enough composition – but it isn’t that exciting – but large and you have the impression you are there.
Well almost, I think I need to make my way to the beach soon – if you don’t live close to one, I am sorry – but more reason for me to not squander it.

This fits in more with “Promoting the Creative World” articles – but found it in conjunction with composition – good preaching
