Inspired by his surroundings in southwest Montana, Daniel paints from a depth of knowledge and passion. Each work is inspired and informed by thousands of hours of observation and research. <BR><BR> Daniel Smith travels frequently to research his subjects in their natural habitat, believing that there is no substitute for personal experience in the field. More often, he'd rather be outdoors in the thick of the experience than indoors painting it. <br><br> He comments,<I> "The painting process...it's fun and creative, but the real enjoyment for me is being out there and experiencing it, seeing the colors, feeling the rain and traipsing through the snow... that's what is it all about."</I> <br><br></div> <BR CLEAR=ALL> <TABLE BORDER="0" ALIGN="RIGHT" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0"> <tr><td align="center" width="340"> <div class="ClickInfo"><center><A class="ClickInfo" HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=smith+ServiceName=DansBio+PIC=2+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="#CCCC99">Enlarge Image</font></a></center></div> <table><TR><TD> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=smith+ServiceName=DansBio+PIC=2+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/smith/DansBio/2.jpg?07007oIC9dMqLEr" ALT=" Daniel Smith - - Daniel Smith Wildlife Inc."

Born and raised in Mankato, Minnesota, Daniel was dubbed the "artistic one in his family." He experimented with different mediums from his first original sale of a mosaic egret composition in fifth grade to an elaborately sketched tabletop.<br><br> The son of an ardent hunter, Daniel's time spent as a youth in the field was the catalyst to a career dedicated to observing and painting wildlife. His artistic career began as an illustrator drawing anything from nuts and bolts to album covers. While an illustrator, Smith spent evenings painting what he was most passionate about - wildlife. <br><br> In the early 1980s, Daniel entered his first duck stamp competition, placed second and discovered a new career in designing duck stamps. Along the way, he won the Federal Duck Stamp competition in '87, four first-of-states, two first-of-nations and numerous other stamps for a total of thirty-some duck stamps. He quickly abandoned the illustration work and pursued a career painting wildlife. <BR> </div> <BR CLEAR=ALL> <TABLE BORDER="0" ALIGN="LEFT" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0"> <tr><td align="center" width="340"> <table><TR><TD> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/smith/DansBio/3.jpg?07007oIC9dMqLEr" ALT=" Daniel Smith - Dan and Liz SmithKenya - Daniel Smith Wildlife Inc."
