Colors of Winter
capturing the blues and browns - the hurdles of painting after a break
Winter Colors - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006
This is my first painting in quite some time - a few weeks anyway. It is fascinating how the urge to create works.
On the one hand, one feels a kind of craving than is difficult to describe - but then for lack of practice - it feels enormous just to get started.
Deciding what to paint or what size - all these things seem big. Being creative like most things is about striking a balance - being relaxed enough to not care about mistakes - but still be able to create with the importance a piece deserves.
To create this digital painting, I drew from things I have been seeing over the last few weeks. Today, it is not the piece I thought it was yesterday - but it has captured the blues and browns of winter in the Salinas Valley.
