Gentle Blades of Spring
quilted blades and aerial spray have added meaning
Quilted Spray - art prints / digital painting - Dan Beck - 2005
I am featuring this piece today - one because I gallery chanced and image rouletted upon it and two because it is getting to that time of year. Spring is rampant here and pollen and every other allergen upon us - throw in a few sprays and who knows what the results might be.
I love my surrounded by fields setting, but I know I need to get out.
When I wrote about this digital painting before, one of the things I omitted was the ridiculousness of the blades of the helicopter - the seemingly most dangerous aspect of a helicopter. Everyone crouches even though they couldn’t hit them.
The blades have been turned into fabric here- quilted looking - thus making the spray - though cool and beautiful, appear even less safe.
One can always add meaning.
