how art digital?

inspiration, easily done, or disciplined

Hill Mountains - digital art -> original prints - Dan Beck - 2003

I was surprised to find out I had only written once about this piece. For a long time, it was my favorite.

Like most people, I want and expect things to happen faster than they really do. It is rare for things to happen quickly; yet as an artist we frequently value the quicker produced pieces because of the inspiration. When something happens easily we feel like it must have been the right thing - perhaps even divine.

And usually when something happens easily and feels right, it is right. On the other hand, when we see the evidence of the time, discipline, developed technique all thrown into a work of art - we can not help but appreciate the dedication and the pursuit of a long term goal.

Digital art is confusing in this regard, because one can’t often tell the degree of time commitment, just the finished result.

When Seeing Is Not Believing

and original blue clouding

Blue Clouds at Evening - digital painting - Dan Beck 2007

Blue Clouds at Evening - digital painting - Dan Beck 2007

Sticking with my theme of original art - I opted to come back to this piece. I don’t know that it will ever reach my all time favorites. In fact, when I saw the blue clouds that evening - I was more struck by the unusualness than the beauty.

Had this been part of an abstract color experiment - or some bizarre reference to a “blue period” - it might actually be more accessible.

But I think because the unreal was actually real - it makes the whole work a bit fanciful - even for myself - who saw the blue clouds that night … and never since, and never before.

So the image will probably always be unique and the original prints - though likely multiples - will always be as intended … and always original art prints.
