Maine painter Dan Daly lives and works halfway up the coast of Maine in the seaside town of Camden. His paintings and illustrations reflect his love and connection to the New England landscape, its quality of light, architecture, people, and wildlife. Equally at ease working with pencil, ink, watercolor, oils, or acrylics, he works both mural-sized and small. Daly’s paintings are represented in public and private collections in Europe and the United States. After a lifetime of drawing and painting and experimenting with various styles, he has settled into doing what he describes as “striving to do a common thing uncommonly well.” He adds, “I like to do pictures that someone can return to, that make a connection, that say someone gave a damn enough to record this image because these colors, this light, this scene are worth examining.”
