About the Item

Artist Comments
Gentle waves roll onto a sandy shore beneath a cloud-filled sky. Soft, impressionistic brushstrokes blend cool blues, greens, and grays, creating a serene, atmospheric scene. The artwork captures the quiet beauty of a tranquil coastline.


About the Artist
Artist David Forks captures the serene beauty of Texas Trans-Pecos landscapes in his evocative artworks, focusing on the Big Bend region and the Hill Country. His works range from intricate details to loose and spontaneous brushstrokes. After his brother's passing and a profound encounter with mortality, David reflected on the fleeting nature of time and made a courageous decision to pursue his passion. "I quit my job as a designer and illustrator in Houston and moved to the small, slow-paced border town of Del Rio, Texas, where I am now living my dream," says David. He operates from his home studio filled with books, cameras, and computer equipment, occasionally venturing outdoors to paint. In his spare time, he enjoys road trips, housekeeping chores, and binge-watching movies.
