Over the past twenty-five years Dave Dalton (b. 1952) has forged a reputation as one of the premier landscape and marine painters in the western United States. While his work is detailed, he retains a wonderful sense of natural light and atmosphere in his compositions. Dalton has always been a prolific traveler, and so his paintings are as varied as the western landscape; the shores of Maui, the rugged Baja peninsula, the Rocky Mountains are all subjects that inspire a painter who is at the peak of his artistic powers and reputation.
