Irrigation Man is enveloped in water - almost unseen

Irrigation Man - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006

I have been obsessed with trying to get my website moved to a different web-host. So far it is a much bigger undertaking than I could have expected and nowhere near done… oh well.

This is the first painting I have done in well over a week. I had the idea of creating a piece that would be ideal printed in halves and pieced together - making one large diptych if you will.

The first one came out really nice, but it was not intended to be printed like that from the outset. This piece is designed to maximize two sheets of 13 x19″ watercolor paper and put them together for a total print size of 19 x 26″ - which is pretty sizable.

I wanted this figure enveloped in water - I have seen things similar to this - though not recently. Sometimes for what one wants to communicate, that may actually be better.

  These are figures enveloped in water - much more literally than I was thinking - but rather interesting - dark website - probably easier viewed at night

  Photos are more in the sense I am thinking - than traditional diptych
