Gina Lynam in her thesis, 1996 TCD, entitled "Daniel O'Neill (1920-1974) Landscape and Figure Painter" stated of O'Neill that, "he imbued everything he painted with a delicate, dreamy mood of serenity tinged with a certain melancholy." O'Neill received a gallery contract from Dublin art dealer Victor Waddington in 1945 and went on to exhibit abroad in group shows held in Los Angeles, New York and Boston, Canada, London and Amsterdam. In 1949, he visited Paris where he was exposed to and heavily influenced by Rouault, Vlaminck and Utrillo. In a review of O'Neill's paintings the Irish Times on 15th May 1953 referred to the "imaginative, often haunting, melancholic interaction between figure and environment, mood and circumstance".
