Born in Colorado and raised in Southern California, Van Dreal earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Brigham Young University. He says of his work: "I have considerable admiration for the Masters and employ their established composition formulas to determine the dimension and design of my work. Then I use "alla prima" oil painting combined with glazing to render form and capture light. My completed work is reminiscent of classical realism but with a contemporary edge.JP212.5" x 16"PaintingOil on canvas laid to panelFor use information see: http://www.willamette.edu/arts/hfma/collections/copyright.htmlAutumnDraperiesFoodOil paintingsPaintingsPumpkinsSquashesStill life paintingsStill lifesimage
