Dan Woodward
is an American artist based in Rolla, Missouri, painting
primarily in oils. He is also a founding member of ArtsRolla and The Local Color group there. He is currently
on the Board of Governors of the St. Louis Artists' Guild. As a colorist/realist, Woodward is primarily involved
with capturing the atmosphere of a scene. Each latitude has its different light, as does each day of a season, and recreating
that light is his life's ambition apart from the choice of subject matter. He takes pleasure recording the quickly
vanishing world of natural wilderness and historical identity.
Dan believes, "The best quality an artist
can cultivate is a good eye for light and color; a clear perception of the world around him. It is a lifetime's education;
a continuing joyful process."
His painting journeys took him from Missouri to California and Mexico from
1961-80, to the Vietnam War in the Far East in 1968-69, to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Turkey in 1981-84, and to South Africa
in 2004 resulting in the inspiration for many original paintings and sketches of those mysterious and rapidly changing lands.
