elements of a literal time

Winter Colors - digital painting /art prints - Dan Beck 2006

Despite the symmetry of the mountain peak in the center, I still enjoy the feeling of this piece.

The colors are true to winter here, but the curving strips over the land creating a mounded look are from who knows where.

I think I was working towards a more finished look but opted to quit before I got there. Sometimes one likes a stage enough to stop there - I am assuming that is what happened here.

The look is a bit uncharacteristic - though my style typically includes abstract elements.  A digital painting of mine that is this worked is usually more literal. But then again this was more of a composite - pulling the man holding the dirt out of some former memory.
