Inspiration and Acting Upon It

personal perspective expressed in painting
Foothills Terrain - digital painting - Dan Beck 2006
I have found myself painting quite a bit over the last week. Inspiration and acting upon it are topics I keep coming back to - because I think it is lot of what I need to share.
Someone recently said to me that she had seen work by all these talented people (she included me - thank you) and it made her feel like she had none.
I understand that feeling - there are countless artists who leave me in the dust technically and conceptually and many musicians who make me feel like a hack.
But I have more than enough vocabulary to communicate and no one else can see from my perspective. And this is true for all creative beings.
As for the above scene - I had to do something to express what I had experienced. This area is incredible, no photo or painting can do it justice, but I did succeed in giving it depth, form, and feeling.
For art prints of the above digital painting, please email specialorders@outhousestudios.net.
