DAI WYNN -- PAINTER OF THE EPHEMERAL

A painting captures a scene frozen in time. A combination
of light and shade, seasonal colours, clouds, water and
sky may be fleeting. Nothing is constant; change is
everywhere.

Dai Wynn is a painter of the ephemeral. He aspires to
capture beauty in Nature which is so often transitory.
A sunset, a combination of clouds, a rainbow, a sparkling morning in an alpine meadow.

They say an artist sees things which most people miss.
Some things may simply be out of reach in a foreign land. A painting by Dai Wynn may evoke pleasant memories of an overseas trip; it might be a reminder to visit a desirable overseas location; it will certainly be a good talking point
(with bragging rights); and above all, it is an original
artwork and will appreciate in value over time. Issues of composition, brush strokes, colour, and texture
mean that paintings by Dai Wynn could never be com-
pared with holiday snap-shots.

That tumble-down barn won't be there in a few years' time.
Older parts of our modern cities are disappearing, and
often we don't notice what we have lost.

It's the duty of landscape artists to keep the memory
fresh, but above all to seek and capture the ephemeral
for the enjoyment of all.

Ephemeral - Wikipedia definition
