Carl Dalio
Carl Dalio has been an inspiration to me since I first saw his work several years ago. His exciting use of color coupled with his realistic approach of subjects makes me want to run to my easel every time I see them. His work is always fresh and offers the viewer a new twist on anything he paints.

Greg does amazing work in oil, and although his prices are not listed, I think that they are well within the  grasp of most collectors. His handling of water and the atmospheric quality of his work is a cut above the usual gallery fare, and his understated realism shows he has excellent draftsmanship but doesn't feel the need to copy  exactly what he sees.  This oeuvre is a must see!
