whimsical, architectural, and speculative

Over the Top - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck -2003

My son Clif has a birthday today and that is enough reason to feature this piece. Though never one of my all time favorites, it spoke to him - not sure if it was color, the mix of abstract and representational or what - but I know this to be a favorite of his.

For me, I have mixed feelings about it - I like the looseness - the quality of the hill-mountains in particular and even the way the sun is squished up into the top of the digital painting.

The piece is both whimsical and architectural somehow - reminding me of the opera house in Sidney or a bandstand shell. And the colors are quite pleasing.
