interest in art started with two very influential art
teachers in a vocational high school art class. He
always wanted to paint. He even painted a picture of
Teddy Roosevelt on the wall at Roosevelt Elementary School
in Willowick. Knowing that he couldn’t make money from
his art, he went on to become an engineer. It was just
10 years ago that he returned to doing art . . . with a
cartoon strip called “hey picklehead!”, which he says he
only draws for his own whimsy. Dan works with acrylics
on canvas, painting pictures from real life, each with a
story behind it. He tries to put something happening
in each of his paintings. His recent affinity for
Venetian red and burnt umber, a favorite combination, can be
seen in a number of his paintings. Enjoy!
