Cloud Over Sprinklers  - digital painting / art prints - 2005 - Dan Beck

I just did a little update on the website homepage and this piece is no longer shown. I figured it was time for a little change.

And no matter how much I like a piece, it is important to keep moving things around and of course keep creating new.

With that said, there are things I particularly appreciate about the above digital painting. The colors themselves have that wonderful Autumn clarity. The clouds wisp over an artificially large round sun - yet the size works well.

The irrigation could be easily misread unless of course you are privy to this type of view - because it is very textural and very much of a “what is that?” if you haven’t seen it before.

Finally, this piece also manages to capture the hilly terrain. It is simple but says a lot. And the colors are every bit as luscious printed - actually more so.
