E.A. DALTON

One of the foremost Canadian landscape artists. His works convey a dark brooding mystery: the forest trees are formidable and seemingly ageless. Nature prevails as a strong and ominous portent. There is an almost primordial content within the paintings. E.A. Dalton captures a mood of solitude and silence with his interpretation of the natural environment. The Canadian landscape stands alone with distinction from any other place on the planet. Dalton demands respect for the natural order as depicted in his paintings. He is one of the greatest Canadian landscape artists to preclude the Group of Seven. The watercolour is a prima artwork in the realm of prestigious landscape; the bramble bush appears to the viewer as seen through a filtered rose hoed lense.
