“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 2017 David was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, which has profoundly effected his artwork. He uses colour, form and symbolic motifs, to create a personal visual story.

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.
