accurate feeling without being literal – appreciating ambiguity
Big Valley 1 – Digital Painting / Art Prints – Dan Beck 2005
What I see today is the geometry of lines – the exaggerated rows of crops or dirt – creating a backdrop both unmistakable and unreal.
I like the way the foreground pokes out of the next layer – making one unclear as to whether everything is at the same height or up a level of hill.
I love the lines which look like a shirt and the tissue like nature of the mountains. It is far from literal – but I know this place…
This is the valley I see so regularly – but also a place of its own.
