technique was innovative at time - only the feeling has lasted

Light Thru Rain Cloud - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck

When I completed this in 2005, I was really ecstatic about the way I created depth in the cloud. The technique was innovative for me and I felt I had almost expressed the incredible size and power of the cloud.

One can’t duplicate nature; but one can pay tribute and perhaps create something worthy in its own right.

There is something almost black and white about this piece. The smaller round mountain was glowing despite the overcast day - a phenomena I love here - but still the world looks grey - and it was.

I have an art print of this framed 28 x 36 inches with an image size of 23.5 inches by 31 inches - there was a minor imperfection at the printer’s so I have an extra. I am generally a color person - so it is not my all time favorite - but it still has the quality of that grey day and the hope of a glowing mountain despite it.
