New Take on Yesterday’s Theme
second approach improves on feeling and intent
Field Phlat - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006
I am much happier with this piece - in a sense, it is a do over of the strawberry picker with an empty flat. The first piece, “Field Flat” was finished the day before yesterday - and I was happy with it - even though I knew it wasn’t quite the feeling I had set out to achieve.
The world in this piece is computer fun. I overlapped gradients - did a little copying and pasting - some stretching and flipping, created new paints out of the painting itself, created new textures, blended parts - and just had some good fun with the medium. Yehhh!
The figure is larger and alone, like I had originally wanted - the posture a little different - couldn’t remember the exact way he held the flat - but mainly I just wanted another crack at it - I thought I could portray what I was looking for better.
