When Seeing Is Not Believing
and original blue clouding
Blue Clouds at Evening - digital painting - Dan Beck 2007
Sticking with my theme of original art - I opted to come back to this piece. I don’t know that it will ever reach my all time favorites. In fact, when I saw the blue clouds that evening - I was more struck by the unusualness than the beauty.
Had this been part of an abstract color experiment - or some bizarre reference to a “blue period” - it might actually be more accessible.
But I think because the unreal was actually real - it makes the whole work a bit fanciful - even for myself - who saw the blue clouds that night … and never since, and never before.
So the image will probably always be unique and the original prints - though likely multiples - will always be as intended … and always original art prints.
