Lost Art Certificate

Lost Art Certificate is a rare digital art NFT by Joe Chiappetta available on Atomic Hub.

This is a Riverside, California scene that I imagine to be more common especially from when it used to rain much more in the past (like decades ago). Random little rivers like this are harder to find these days--unless you hike up into the mountains. Yet drought-issues aside, why does this artwork appear to be unfinished?

This painting is an empathetic tribute to every artist who has ever started a digital drawing or painting, yet the software unexpectedly crashed before the art could be saved, rendering it lost forever. In the early days of digital art, especially before auto-save features were built into programs, this would happen way more often. Now it is less prevalent, yet can still happen to any unsuspecting masterpiece in progress. Win some, lose some.
