David Forks
Blues and Paints, Oil Painting

2024

About the Item

Artist Comments
Spring brings forth beauty in the Texas hill country. Bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush flowers add a burst of color to the landscape. Oak trees stand proud, their canopies covering the grass below, while clouds lazily drift overhead.


About the Artist
David has always wanted to be a painter. His professional career consisted of design and illustration roles, but it was not until a brush with his own mortality that David decided to change careers and become a full-time artist. “I quit my job in Houston and moved to the small and slow-paced border town of Del Rio, Texas, where I am now living my dream,” he says. Inspired by the outdoors, he often paints outside or takes photographs on his road trips to which he refers once back in his studio. The resulting paintings are marked by impressionist-style brushwork and a natural use of color. David’s pastoral scenes of the countryside are idyllic, invoking within the viewer a serene sense of calm.
