Original, Simple, Colorful, Expression
controlling what at first seems uncontrollable
My Series 12 - digital painting - original prints - Dan Beck 2004
Simple, colorful, expression - not much in the way of form - not much in terms of movement - but it does have a good feeling nevertheless.
This was not a particularly thoughtful piece. It came from following a concept of being on the cusp between representation and abstract as well as having the smooth colors atop the beige textured background.
Original art, original prints - this has my characteristic comfortable strokes of the mouse - unique to the way I move my hand and wrist - controlling what was seemingly uncontrollable at first.
As a musician, I had to learn how to hear some of the odd scales my fingers had learned how to play - in some ways - this abstract piece is about the same process with painting on the computer.
