Mark Daily (American, b. 1944). "July - Spider Bay" oil on board, n.d. Signed on lower right. A breathtaking view of Spider Bay in Ontario, Canada by Mark Daily. Daily's composition welcomes the viewer to explore this beautiful body of water that is part of Lake Huron, capturing a seemingly timeless visual moment when sunlight dapples over the rippling blue-green waters, verdant foliage rises from the rocky shore, and a grove of trees marks the opposite shoreline. Daily is an impressive colorist and strategically placed each hue within the context of others, so that all work in concert to create a lively, sensual effect. A powerful work of art by Mark Daily that transports the viewer to this picturesque location set in an attractive custom frame that is tastefully adorned with carved beaded and heart-shaped motifs as well as silver leaf in areas. One can almost hear the ebb and flow of the waters! Silver leaf quality: measures up to 40% on the inner molding. Size: 14" L x 20" W (35.6 cm x 50.8 cm) Size of frame: 20.7" L x 26.6" W (52.6 cm x 67.6 cm)
Born in Chicago, Mark Daily studied at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, but it wasn't until he discovered Nicolai Fechin's paintings and decided to move west to Taos, New Mexico that his artistic style truly took hold. Daily lived in Taos for 9 years, was inspired by the Taos Society of Artists as well as the undeniable beauty of New Mexico. He formed a strong community with fellow Taos artists Ned Jacob, William Sharer, and Buffalo Kaplinski. This group first showed in Taos and then moved to Denver where they became known as the Denver School.
