depth of field, workers, limited exposure, and time constraints
Break Line Hoe - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006
There is a lot of activity in the fields these days - too much to really capture. What I like about this piece is how the line of workers are being swallowed by the field.
For the record is was a field of immature romaine lettuce. What was also interesting about what I viewed was that despite the short visibility due to fog, you could still get a good sense of the depth of this field.
Those were the things I concentrated on conveying when I created this digital painting. The figures are simple, but then I only got a glimpse of them driving by - and time constraints made me need and want to create this more like a sketch.

another digital view of strawberry harvesting
Harvest Depth - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006
I don’t know if it’s as much about trying to get it right or trying new angles at the same thing. This year, there are more strawberry fields around my house since I moved here about 6 1/2 years ago.
I am struck by different views of essentially the same thing each day. In the above piece, the orange flags which I understand to mean the field has been sprayed, caught my gaze.
The berries require being harvested every 2 days or so depending upon the weather and they did spray in between - but the flags winding their way back to the second crew intrigued me.
It also intrigued me that once again - the crews appeared to be lined up and bent over like a team - which they are - but when the flat is full the picker boogies - I suspect piece work incentives and a little bit of everyone for himself.
