Not sure what to say?

As my prior message -- i volunteered to be one of the models at a Portrait conference in Sacramento in 1995. It was a SPECIAL EXPERIENCE AND REMAINS SO HANGING ON MY WALL. And at the 2000 Portrait Society in Washington D.C, I had him sign my books of his -- he said; "YOU look familiar". I reminded him of the Sacramento conference. I am sure there was a rolladex invisible head of all the portraits over his lifespan. He lives on in those memories and on his instructional videos. Thank You...

I studied with Dan at Studio Farm in North Salem, where we were neighbors. My two daughters, Deirdre and Sheila Rhatigan posed for classes as well. They received portraits by him before going off to college, which we treasure! He was a gentle, kindly soul who knew his business! It was a pleasure to know him, and Wende. He left a rich legacy!

I attended one of his Portrait workshops in 1995 in Sacramento. The 1st evening he asked who would like to model-? A Man with a Cowboy hat volunteered. Daniel created àn amazing portrait before our eyes. Before the evening was over , I asked if I could model the next night? "Of Course" ; he said. So, the next evening demonstration I was the model. Over the following two+ hours Daniel taught the group as he produced a Pastel Portrait of me. A VERY SPECIAL EVENING AND FOREVER A MEMORY. In...

I am so sorry Mr. Greene has passed from this early scene into eternity. What a wonderful man and a consummate teacher. I was fortunate enough to have been his last student in 2019. He did not know me at all, yet agreed to be my practicum teacher. I will always love him for that. Mrs. Caporale-Greene, remember what a wonderful man he was, and know you have my sincere sympathies . Rest in Peace Daniel E. Greene.

Daniel, I really miss you. I remember the last workshop I took with you, it was the day of your retirement. You were a Master. Rest In Peace

I didn't personally know Daniel, but his name constantly came up. His work was astounding. I didn't know he left us until I just read it on FB. My condolences to all of his family.

I have great memories of my ex-bro-in-law. He made me laugh and taught me how to play pool. He will be greatly missed by all

Daniel Greene was a legend in the art world long before I entered his studio as a student. He was as brilliant a teacher as he was a painter. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him personally as well as the art world in general. God blessed him with an enormous talent that he graciously shared with so many. May he rest in peace.
