About This Book
Phil Dike’s
perception of his environment, his dramatic sense of pictorial
design, and his love of life, color, and atmosphere have led
to the body of masterfully conceived and executed paintings
discussed and illustrated here.
He has
drawn on his life experiences for his work, starting with
his student days in California, New York and Europe and his
travels to the Southwest deserts and mining camps. He has
produced a vibrant portrayal of the life and the scenery along
the California bays, harbors, and wilderness coast where he
has spent his career as an artist and teacher.
Dike
is a member of the National Academy of Design, the American
Watercolor Society, and is a Past President of the California
Water Color Society. His works can be found in the collections
