the climate of change

Two Pick 2 - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006

Yesterday was California Arts Day and also being the First Friday of every month an arts celebration here in what is a small community of Salinas.

There is nothing new about this - the two of coincided now for the third time; but this time the local newspaper - which like most - is more concerned with publishing the bad - published the good - right on. They also included an image of the above piece of digital art - which of course was a nice surprise for me.

For what it is worth - colors in print look a lot better than their website version. I have not written much about my current show in Salinas - but it has been really well received. More important to me is being a part of a changing landscape.

I believe we are in the process of becoming someplace special - our climate, landscape, and culture are coming together here - people are believing - just as I believe: in being at the right place at the right time by being where one is - and therefore supposed to be.
