Biography from Alphanautical Gallery:
| David Dalton was born in 1952 in Pontiac, Michigan. The son of an artist, he has been involved in the arts most of his life. Upon graduating in 1977 with a degree in Fine Arts, he had a turning point in his artistic career when, on a weekend excursion, he visited Carmel, California. In touring more than forty galleries, he was greatly impressed by its art and was particularly moved by the work of renowned seascape painter Alexander Dzigurski. Thus with new enthusiasm and inspiration, Dalton decided to move to southern California and dedicate his career to painting ocean views.
Once settled on the West Coast, Dalton set a hectic schedule for himself of teaching by day and painting by night. He practiced different techniques, striving always to express himself in new ways through his brush. Soon, the young artist was working between ten and fourteen hours a day. His dedication reaped benefit, for just two years later an established art gallery in southern California decided to represent Dalton.
Dalton intends his luminous images of the pounding California surf and the spirited motion of the Pacific Ocean to be crisp, forceful and captivating. He layers color applications of blended oils to impart depth and perspective to his paintings which can be a California sunset, a landscape with oak shaded barns nestled into surrounding hills or the haunting moodiness of a silver-cast moon reflecting off ice-blue waters.
Through the years the works of James Fetherolf, an American Contemporary Landscape painter have inspired Dalton.
