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 …

Thank you for the mention! I really like your banner & your artwork.
I need to work on a new banner for myself & you’ve given me something to think about — stitching together multiple photos in one banner is a good idea.
