Putting Oneself In the Scene

digital painting for CD cover invites imagination

CD Cover - Caribbean 4

Caribbean 4 - CD Cover that went unused

Another day without a new piece of art - not really a big deal but it makes it a different challenge to write.

This piece came up today for me in three contexts - so I thought I would share it.

This digital painting was created to be a CD cover and I doubt it would be able to make anything but a smaller sized art prints.  

I love the couple’s crossed legs - probably because I love that myself - but also the silliness of colored toe nails and the fact that is all that is visible.

But what a nice scene - between the beach, water, and colorful sails - it is most inviting - and I doubt I am the only person who finds themselves imagining being under the umbrella.

Digital Painting: Seafogged | and its Art Prints

remembering water, sky and evening light

Seafogged - digital painting - 2005 - Dan Beck

Seafogged - digital painting - Dan Beck - 2005

Because I referred to this piece in a previous article today, I thought it would be a good idea to write about it.

The digital painting is from last year and is in some ways a one of a kind. I think I just haven’t been spending enough time at the beach. Or perhaps I am not finding it directly inspiring when I do go.

This particular time I remember the hole in the sky, I remember the foam on the water, I remember the peaceful light as the fog engulfed all of us who were walking that day.

I also remember feeling like I hooked the piece, that I had captured the evening, that I had used the medium and found the language to express something inexpressible.

I have seen and shown the work printed and framed 24×30″, but I believe the optimum size art print is even a tad bit larger.
