freedom and adaptation
First Big – digital painting / art prints – Dan Beck 2003
I have resisted featuring this digital painting for a couple of reasons. First, I never felt it was that strong of a work – even though I like it enough to have framed it and enough to have it as part of the Abstract Art Gallery.
But more importantly – since its placement on the web, it has received too many hits for people looking for something quite different than what I am offering. Oh well … and "gay" was an excellent word for happy for many years – such usage is tricky at best these days.
This piece is about change and rolling with it – a good reminder for me these days. The piece was as large a template as I could create with the program I paint with – thus the title. The first marks were done with black and opaque color – the default settings of the program –
but I chose to go with it – not caring that it was not the way I normally worked … and I think it is that kind of flowing freedom that I love about this work.

I liked this poem – a curious freedom perhaps in not being able to see clearly?
