His work captures the undeniable beauty of the West with its grand and humble spirit. The realist calm water painting with a boat is 23 1/2 x 36 1/2 inches and is framed is an artist fabricated pale blue hand painted wood floater frame. Dixon’s work can be found in many prestigious public collections, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Oakland Museum of Art / California, as well as numerous private art collections worldwide.
