depth confusion and overlapping colors created unique painting and art prints

Mount 1 - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2004

I am surprised that I haven’t written about this piece.  It is one of my favorites.  I am particularly partial to the way the vegetation is portrayed at the base of the mountain.

There is a very strong collage quality to this digital painting. The overlapping of color gradient transparencies looks like it was created with tissue.

But then again - just the slightest bit of looking and one can see there is something more modern going on - in what is a take from impression of Fremont Peak.

I actually love the way it is unclear as to what is in front of what. I have kind of abandoned that in more recent works - but I actually enjoy that depth confusion here.
