Art Print | Salinas Valley 1
archival print - lasting image
Salinas Valley 1 Digital Painting - 2003
I find myself showing off a piece from a couple years ago. My work has grown since this was created, but I still find this to be a strong and significant piece.
The way the hills and in particular the row crops are represented was a first at the time, but has remained fascinating to look at. Please see gallery page and the image enlargement.
There is no attempt at reality, but the cloud seems wispy - and although the sun and hills are a bit of a caricature, they capture the way the land is around here - the rolling, overlapping layers of field crops - exaggerated a tad but then again quite reminiscent of reality.
Like the other art on my site, it is created using a computer and mouse and each print is done on watercolor paper using fine archival inks and is considered a giclée. The work will last for generations and what I find particularly exciting is that each piece is by design an original.
