sunset portrayal reminiscent of tissue paper collage and magical light
Tractor Sunset – digital painting /art prints – Dan Beck 2003
This is a really magical piece. Like all my digital paintings, it is even more so viewed as an archival art print. What I am struck by today is how much like a tissue collage this painting looks.
The way I represented the streaming light of sunset, I still find to be quite novel. It was the first time I ever did it in that fashion and frankly haven’t ever done it as successfully since.
The high tension wire towers kind of dance and disappear in the evening fog – and a lone tractor and driver work on – either basking in the beauty that is almost exclusively theirs – or perhaps too caught up in plowing (which I doubt) to notice.
The magic is in the evening itself – in the scenario – and in the way it is captured without really looking much like what was – but for perhaps what was essential.
