power of perspective leads to original digital painting
Dividing Road – digital painting / art prints – Dan Beck – 2004
There is kind of a nice design and balance to this piece. The road winds through – off center a bit and there are three main areas to the piece which are each bold and clearly delineated.
When I set out to paint the experience, I found myself painting from above. The perspective was coming from somewhere other than my being in the car.
This digital painting is based upon an experience. And in the experience I was in one of the cars – but I think my mind was actually elsewhere – because something struck me about the scene.
There was barrenness on my right with the mechanization of irrigation going on – on my left were multiple crews of strawberry pickers – and there in the center – just passing through – on our way to or from work or fun – we traveled just as much a part of the scene.
