ART EDUCATION: Self-taught.STYLE: I paint alla prima. Painterly realism is what everyone seems to call my style.SECOND-CHOICE CAREER: I can’t see myself being anything but an artist. But I would have loved to have been a writer. I love to read classics by Charles Dickens and Jane Austen.BEST ADVICE RECEIVED: When I was first starting out and seeking advice for my career, my dad told me that my success wouldn’t be based on how much money I made but on how much I gave back.CREATIVE SPARK: Just things that catch my eye. I love antiques and old books, and I love to garden and grow things. I’m also inspired by other artwork.PRICE RANGE: $900 to $6,000.GALLERIES: www.danielkeysfineart.com.
