About the Artist

Daniel K. Tennant was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and he attended Syracuse University, where he received a BFA in painting. Tennant’s artwork and writing have appeared in many magazines and ten books, and he is considered one of the most technically proficient artists working in gouache today. Many of his paintings now reside in important private collections in the US and abroad. His work has been published on calendars, limited edition prints, and book covers, and his work has also been exhibited in many important museums in the United States. He has been exhibiting in galleries in New York City since 1990. Tennant has won many prestigious art awards in competition over the past 25 years. He is the father of our four grown children and is a full-time painter living in Central New York State with his wife, Karen. Tennant has always loved to draw and paint. “There was never any doubt that my calling in life was to be an artist. My paintings are statements about things that are important to me. In this age of advanced technology and fast-paced living, it is important to know that there are still quiet places to see and experience,” he says. “I love crisp, detailed realism. In each painting I try to produce a piece that is painted well and offers art of the highest caliber. I have been using opaque watercolors for over thirty years and appreciate them more each year. They are my favorite medium.” You can see more of his artwork at www.danielktennant.com.
