What's New

appreciating light and energy of an older digital painting

Flying Thru Sunfire - digital painting - circa 1998

What is new about an older digital painting?

I guess anything old can be looked at new. I think of myself as being pretty observant, but found myself just yesterday noticing something for the first time, which had been that way for over a year.

There is freedom in this piece which I love. I didn’t know the digital medium or program, so I didn’t have to prove anything. And when I say this, I mostly mean to myself.

For now when I do a new digital painting, I have expectations regarding my skill with the medium. I have expectations about subtlety of line and texture which I did not even know were possible when the piece above was created.

Viewing today,  Flying thru Sunfire - a title which I understand just as little as then -  has wonderful light and energy - and I enjoy getting lost in it.
