Digital Painting: Monterey Miway 1
humanness of trees through digital art setting
Monterey Miway 1 - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2004
I thought I would feature this digital painting today. It is inspired by Highway 68 between Salinas and Monterey - looking back over my shoulder up at the hills and spying what are most likely live oak trees on the hillside.
Unlike the majority of my computer art work, this piece clearly looks digital - it isn’t the kind of look you can imagine one doing without a computer kind of palette.
The world looks a little other planet - but then again maybe just hot - not a common occurrence here - but it does happen.
More than anything else in this piece, I like the character of the trees. They all appear to be kneeling or reclining - and have a strong human quality in the midst of an almost science fiction background.
This particular piece was intended to be large and sold no smaller than 24×30" - which is the way I have it on my site. I would consider selling it at the smaller 13×19" size - because I recall that it was one that worked that size.
