W. Dan Hausel – Artist (http://danhausel.com)
Through his eyes: details, shadows, aberrant perspectives, castles filled with dragons, wizards on watch, concerned evenings (http://danhausel.com). The darkness gives way to light and beauty - the sun rises - horses play. Trees and animals evolve into jungles, zebras question, ships sail, martial arts masters sit in peace, women of beauty display life's comforts. Cats, dogs, moose provide joy. Colors provide light. This artist searches the eyes to find life in his sketches.
W. Dan Hausel is an artist – his detailed sketches have been described as incredible and realistic. He tries to place every hair in its proper place whether it be portraits of animals or people. The high seas of his ships come to life in his graphite sketches, his color pencils bring 3 dimensions to paper. His style is difficult to classify as he sketches whatever interests him – diversified in images.
Dan became an artist late in life – as if given a magic wand that directed his hand. Prior to 1990, sketching was not part of his life, but in 1990 – through the urging of a colleague, he took up the pencil and discovered a talent that lay hidden for 40 years. Totally self-taught, Dan looks for the unusual perspective and unusual concepts.
