Interesting to see an artist with so many different aspects to his style. I did an image search only to find my favourite was already posted (top of his selection) by Dixie - I am attracted to Dyer's impressionistic paintings. I chose this one , because I am not really sure if I like it or not. I like to the style but the composition seems a little too focussed and too busy at the same time - if that is possible.

His style certainly does vary - not keen on most of his work, but do like these vibrant seascapes - they look as though they could have been painted by a different artist! (In looking for these, I saw that he does have a son, John Dyer, who also paints in vibrant colours, but his style is naive and not so easy on the eye.)

Should add - I do like Ted Dyer's paintings, maybe except for the 6th image up on this page, the birds in the tree by the building; not sure why, but perhaps a bit too busy (as Tony suggested). And I don't know what's going on with the lights in the middle of the painting - I do like a clue as to what I'm supposed to be looking at....
