David Stephens Drawings and Watercolor Paintings

American

David Stephens left a corporate career to make his living as an artist in 1989. In the years that followed, a growing circle of galleries and collectors were drawn to David's work. The subject matter ranged from landscapes to cityscapes, florals and figurative images. David often painted in plein air. In the spring of 1996, David and his wife Sylvia opened a gallery in Carmel, California, named Sylvia Savage, the gallery director, Savage Contemporary Fine Art. Now closed, the gallery’s original vision and values were, to show and sell unique contemporary paintings and sculptures that blend the abstract and the figurative to express archetypal themes. Describing himself, David said, "First and foremost, I am a colorist. I am naturally inclined towards an exploratory, emotional approach because, for me, color connotes a sense of spiritual energy and centeredness. Additionally, many of my images contain spatial elements and movement which lends a sense of expansion. Line, form, and texture also help shape my interpretive, light-filled paintings."

"The sunflowers of Provence"
Located in VÉNISSIEUX, FR
Dear art lover, I enjoy working on floral compositions. This one was inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's sunflowers. A palette knife was used to obtain the texture on the painted canvas. Please read the details below 👇: Title: "The sunflowers of Provence" Style: impressionism, post-impressionism Medium: oil painting on a heavyweight professional paper Fabriano ( 300 gr) I hope this artwork will fill up your space with vibrant rich colors. It is sold without frame. Hanging fixture will be included so you can hang it on the wall. If you don't want to hang it on the wall, you can display it on the console table, buffet , sideboard, shelf, fireplace etc.. My kind advice: you can choose another floral painting from my gallery to create one singular art piece ( a diptych or a triptych). The choice to sell my art unframed is to give my customer an opportunity to pick a frame to his/her taste, space and interior. This is a unique, one of a kind original oil painting. It is signed on the front and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. The painting will be carefully packed in cardboard box with layers of bubble wrap and sent out to you as soon as possible. Please, give me a couple of days to organize a shipping from...
