“Over the Fence”, acrylic on 300.gsm. paper, 50cm. x 70cm. A break from Abstraction with a return to Landscape. Many “en plein air’ studies eventually led to this painting. It is a subject that I have been returning to unsuccessfully until now. I had always looked at the wider picture, when all along my only intent was to express the sensation of entangled undergrowth. What lies beyond remains a mystery.

Born in 1947 in North Wales, David migrated to Australia in 1970 with his wife and children. He graduated from Southern Cross University, Lismore, NSW. with a Bachelors Degree of Visual Art (Honours).
Davids artwork is inspired by memory; but rather than depict specific events, he reflects emotional situations, infused by present moments of recollection.
In recent times, after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, his work has taken a new and positive direction. His 'Elemental Representions" use colour, form and symbolic motifs, to create a personal visual story line.

I like knowing the back story. Sometimes things take time to emerge, don’t they?

Thanks Claudia, I feel that writing a few word about my work is a way of reassuring myself that the painting is finished.

Yes, I do understand that. It’s a good way to sort of mark the completion.
