In Dale's Own Words...
I started painting at an early age as my mother
would set up still lifes on the
dining room table. She and I would paint the
setup and even at that very
early age (I was around 9 or 10) I noticed a definite style
of my own. 
I still paint with oils and love the way that they move and
blend. My favorite
subjects are scenes from nature or figures with dramatic lighting
or soft lighting that moves my
soul.
I now realize that light
plus light and color as it reflects on water are the subjects
that stir me to capture that impression in paint and to share
with whomever is able to view my paintings. I recently returned
from a
magical trip to Venice and again fell in love with the water,
canals, colors
and light. Please check back and I will have my wonderful web
person post
my new paintings.
I love to wander through
the many art galleries in and around Washington, D.C.
and study the way that the masters used their tools and used
color.
Color to me is a field all by itself and the more that I learn
the more that I see that
I do not know. Isn't it grand that in art there is always
more to learn and expand
and express? ~Dale
