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 combin-
ation 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 cert-
ainly 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 compared 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.
