creating in new ways, good results still looks a lot like other work

Afternoon Glow - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006

Though I firmly believe it is the process of creating and the journey that is important, it is also quite nice to get results.

In any piece there are always features which are like other works - one has to use some of the things which work - because we are result oriented even though we might be trying new things in new ways.

The fields in this digital painting were done differently and have a height and texture which I had not really tried for before. And the mountains incorporated a few different techniques but combined in a new fashion.

And yet, for the most part - it looks a lot like a lot of my other pieces. The house and building in the hillside give a sense of distance - and though this is not a specific place, it is quite right on for what one might see here.

Mostly, I just like the way the piece makes me feel - I think because of how much I like it here.
