Daly
Nostalgic Artwork
|
Jim Daly
makes his home in Oregon. Using oils, he paints nostalgic and
heartwarming scenes of Americana which have been published by Mill
Pond Press since 1982. Jim is a member of the U.S. Art magazine's
Hall of Fame.
Jim has recently illustrated a book entitled Sugarbrush Spring. He
says, " I want my art to be exciting; to have drama,
intimacy, emotion, feeling, delight, and to always be visually
beautiful. For me art must come straight from the
heart."
From historical events to everyday incidents Jim Daly paints
Americana. His paintings are high gloss renderings evocative of
rural life, and of simpler times. The authenticity of Daly's art
achieved with a time-consuming creative process and painstaking
attention to detail, never obscures his primary purpose, an
empathy between viewer and subject. A native of Oklahoma, Daly
studied art at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles.
His paintings are represented in permanent collections of museums
and historical societies and in many private collections. Daly has
also received numerous awards for his artwork, including the
People's Choice Award at the Western Rendezvous of Art. His work
was also selected by the Public Communications Foundation for the
nationwide PBS release of the six-part series, "The West of
the Imagination." |
