done in a caricature kind of style

Salinas Valley 4 - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2004

Most of the work I do is of the Salinas Valley - the landscape here is infectious - and I don’t mean e coli - such things, though awful - are played up by the media. According to the Center for Disease Control, there are over 36,000 flu related deaths per year and that was in 2003 - didn’t exactly get the airplay did it?

In any event, this was the last piece I painted using the Salinas Valley name. It was intended to be large and gets significantly better when viewed bigger or of course printed bigger.

It is more of a caricature than most of my current work - but it is strongly within my own type of style. Nevertheless, I think someone familiar with this area would understand - and others might hopefully appreciate the work as its own thing.
