Dan Jay Freed creates an uniquely unusual array of oil paintings, watercolors, and drawings. He also does custom portraits of people, pets and homes. The works range from slightly surreal & humorous story based concepts, landscapes that are a mix of imagination, design and reality, as well as still life and plein air subjects. An example of a story based painting is “The Balloon Thief” in which a dog and his boy owner have stolen a bunch of balloons from a beach vendor. Dan refers to his story based approach as “Odd little stories that wouldn't stay put”. He calls his method “Organic Imagination” because ideas and compositions form in a variety ways, and he doesn't set limits on styles or technique (and because it sounds fancy!).
