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.
