Lot Description

Thomas Aquinas Daly (b. 1937)
Tundra Storm Clouds, 2022
signed "ta daly" lower left
oil on board, 18 by 24 in.
signed and titled on back

After training as a graphic artist at the University of Buffalo and working in the commercial printing world, Tom Daly turned to fine art full time in 1981. His distinctive watercolors and oils capture the light and moods of hunting and fishing landscapes with sensitivity and lyricism. Two books are dedicated to his body of work: "Painting Nature's Quiet Places" and "The Art of Thomas Aquinas Daly," and his paintings have appeared in many magazines and sporting art publications, including "Sporting Classics" and "Gray's Sporting Journal," among others.

Daly crafted this atmospheric wildlife painting over time, finally satisfying his vision by creating "a more dramatic sky with the addition of threatening storm clouds. I also opened up the landscape to make it recede deep into the distance, making the tundra appear more vast."

Two of the top three Daly paintings ever sold were big game oils of close proximity in scope and size to "Tundra Storm Clouds." Vintage Daly, this work vividly captures the stormy day's mood and energy.
