art can be about communicating in different ways

Twilight Glow - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck - 2005

Having already written about this piece and the printing challenges it held, it still struck me as one to write about today.

I printed this piece so many times, I actually burnt out on it - but today I like it - as I have for quite a while.

The balance is different - I guess because the show takes place in the upper third and gets cooler as one looks down - but it is balanced - it is fun (like the fourth of July) even on too dark of a windows monitor.

I am particularly partial to being able to portray something without being all that close in one’s representation - perhaps in the way a single line can denote so much.

Art can say so much in its own different way.
