enjoying art is not a category

Shape of Something New - digital art - painting - original prints - Dan Beck 2005

What is new and what is original art have been subjects of discussion on my site for quite some time.

If something were completely new, it would be unrecognizable - so new enough or original enough are really what it is about.

Curiously, the term digital art is one which is new in conjunction with any of the work on this site. Because the term is so broad and the associated art is generally so different from the work found here, it seemed like the wrong association.

But the images seen at Outhouse Studios were painted using a mouse, a computer, and the available views of a monitor. Each print is original - it is the intended final form of the art - but what really matters as with all art is whether the work speaks to you.
