DAVE MCNALLY
Dave can be described as an artistic explorer who paints the people and places he’s discovered along his way as a climber and mountain guide to the world’s highest peaks. Dave moved to Jackson, WY in the 70s to pursue both of his passions of painting and mountaineering.
Captivated by the mountain men and the Indians in Wyoming and Idaho, Dave went to Pow Wows and Rendezvous to photograph the men of the west. His paintings of historical figures lead him to painting private commissions for clients all over the country
Dave's goal in painting portraits is to create a stunning image which is much more than just a good likeness. Each portrait is a revelation of that person's true spirit.
He paints two different types of portraits.
1.Classic one color - sepia - oil portraits which include just head and shoulders start at the affordable price of $650.
2. Full color oil portraits which include a custom frame in Dutch Black or Gold Leaf, also made by Dave. Prices range between $3,500- $10,000 depending on whether the portrait includes head and shoulders or a full figure, and a detailed background.
Dave is also an accomplished landscape artist whose work has shown at the C. M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana, Jackson Hole Center for the Arts, National Museum of Wildlife Art Western Visions Miniature Show, Vertical Peaks, Mountain Trails and the Wilcox Gallery among others.
He is currently represented at:
HORIZON FINE ART GALLERY, Jackson, WY
