Original Understanding
original and same - pushing the language
Three Way Figure 2 - original digital painting -Dan Beck 2007
Don’t know if I left anyone in suspence or not - but here is the second of three digital paintings - done together with divergent paths.
When I started the piece I started with the background - and got to a point where it needed some additional color - I filled using different gradients but liked three choices and decided this time not to decide.
Putting off the decision and taking three different paths simultaneously was a fun way of working - an excercise I may or may not repeat. But it doesn’t matter - what is important is the exploration of different ways of working - different ways of keeping things fresh - and in my case different ways of creating original digital paintings and accompanying original art and original prints.
As I keep saying original art has multiple meanings - I see my art as a way to push our understanding.
