a comfortable pleasing piece

Valley Comfort - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006

This is the last digital painting I created and it is also a particularly pleasing piece to me. Not just because I was using a mouse again - but also the subject matter make this a comfortable piece.

I like the cross angles of the fields and the way it makes my eye move. I like the different texture in each section - the furrowed dirt and the chunky first turning of the dark soil.

The green fields are velvety enough and do give justice to how these fields can feel. But I think I like the mountains the most - the trees, the texture and the transparent quality depending upon where you look - it feels like this to me.

As a new piece, if you are interested in art prints from this digital painting or just an availability - please email: specialorders@outhousestudios.net.

  Nice photo tour of surrounding areas - pretty broad but nice big images including one of Santa Lucia Mountains - which is close enough to what I had in mind - give a feel anyway

  Facing the opposite direction from where I think this came - there is probably more similar feelng here than most other digital paintings
