first digitally painted sunset - abstract, brilliant, lasting

Sunset - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2000

It is interesting - when I created this piece, I thought I had said what needed to be said about a sunset. I had built this incredible show - out of almost tissue like overlapping transparencies.

The image is rather abstract but nevertheless looking unmistakably like a brilliant sunset. The multiple hills are like the land here, but in a way not so much seen as felt and the clouds crescendo towards the sky.

I was not bashful with color and Sunset has remained a strong piece even though my sunsets since are more sophisticated.
