Less abstract vertical jazz landscape in a portrait setting best viewed large

Vertical Jazz - digital painting - Dan Beck -2006

This is a new piece. I created as a possible piece for a show - which may or may not happen. But that is neither here nor there.

Sorry, I just couldn’t resist saying that - it was too much fun.

Anyway, I felt I needed to do an abstract jazz piece with a different orientation - portrait rather than landscape. In my mind, I immediately saw this sax extending down the page.

And I imagined stark - sax, drums - bass maybe, maybe not - reminiscent of Ornette Coleman or perhaps Eric Dolphy.

I created a new template - so that this likely could be enlarged up to 28×36″ comfortably - but definitely look sharp at a 24×30″ size framing.

How many pixels determines how big the piece can go - but also how small. Digital painting and printing options are quite open but not without limitations - there are optimum sizes for all pieces.

Since “Vertical Jazz” is a new piece - you will have to email specialorders@outhousestudios.net to order an original art print.
