When Kevin Daniel began dabbling in paints and completing portraits as a
young man, he had no thought that he was nurturing the beginnings of a
profession that would last a lifetime. In his twenties, this
Minnesota native began concentrating on painting animals and wildlife,
discovering that people really appreciated the realism and natural beauty
he brought to his subjects. Daniel has now returned to the romantic
creativeness of the masters' portraits he studied as a teen. He has
turned his camera on family and friends to feature real people in his
paintings. His paintings portray intimate and impressionistic scenes
of nostalgic family life and the collectors embrace his versatility.
Daniel manages to portray his subjects much like the animals in his
wildlife paintings. The viewer is an unannounced visitor to the
moment, eavesdropping on the subject. Kevin Daniel's honors and
awards have been numerous and he continues to attract a growing body of
collectors.
