Solving Problem Does Not Always Mean Success
Impression of scene accurate - piece falls a little short
Shades of East Boronda - digital painting - Dan Beck
Creating art is a lot of times about solving a problem. What I saw was a crazy incline of dirt and as a result - nothing behind it except the Gabilan mountains.
I saw it as a glance - quickly while driving but it was a rather profound image at the time.
Having said that - I don’t think this is one my better pieces. It achieved exactly what I set out to do - but turns out in my eye to not have been enough.
Despite that I like the feeling of the mountains and the feeling of the dirt - even the composition is ok - balanced but not too symmetrical. And of course, the art prints are also better than the digital painting.
I see art as a metaphor for life - I am not alone in this - I did what I set out to do - perhaps this is akin to "being careful what you wish for".
