Featured piece for color, clouds, and warmth - banner afterthought

Cloud Over Sprinklers - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2005

I created a new banner yesterday for my blog - the original was fine even though the dimensions of a couple of pieces were skewed. The art was part of the blog hosting and I didn’t care at the time.

But in creating a new banner, I was thinking about pieces I had featured on the home page of my website and ones which would look good small as well as give a good taste of what it is all about.

This piece was kind of an afterthought - in many ways it is not representative - the huge sun, the simple hilly dirt, yet the clouds, color of the sky,and color in general - is something I am quite happy with - this piece feels good - the colors are yummy, Fall-like, and the irrigation is playful.

But it didn’t make the banner …
