focus to harness an awkward imbalance

Field Fitting - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006

I don’t know if one can tell by looking, but this was a challenge for the eyes to make. A lot of the piece was done by filling in lines - not like conventional painting but with the unique tools of the computer - yet really focusing on getting in between.

I am particularly partial to this digital painting - I think the composition is compelling - one feels like one is at the end of the precipice. The fields undulate - the colors are more real than real - and there is this wonderful awkward imbalance of the man positioning the irrigation pipes and trying to harness nature.

Perhaps I read too much - but then again - I think it speaks strongly about my own vision and style.
