Digital Painting Recreates Feeling
creating what can’t be recreated … but with feeling
Foothills Terrain - digital painting - Dan Beck 2006
The thing about this art print which strikes me the most - is how it pulls me in. I find the hills and mountains to have both the depth and warmth that they have in person.
I can’t say that the image or its prints is impeccable - that is not for me to say - but I know if makes me feel like I want to reach out and hug those hills and mountains - and that is what I feel when I am in the Santa Lucia Foothills.
This is a place which always blows my mind - I am always stunned by its beauty - I cannot copy or recreate such beauty - and I don’t believe any artist can - what I can do in a digital painting or at least try to do - is paint what it feels like for me to be in the scene.
I feel successful in this venture, but this is not a particularly trafficked area - and I suspect does not look like it even exists.
