About David's work

Dave works mostly in pastels and oils, with some occasional printmaking.  Many of his gorgeous landscapes were influenced by the wild beauty that surrounds him and many of his subjects are within walking or hiking distance of his home.   He prefers bright late afternoon or early evening light and enjoys documenting the seasonal changes.  Dave lists the French Impressionists and the German Expressionists among his favorite painters.

Here is a sample of the new work:

Dave taught art for 38 years.  His students have ranged from kindergarteners through college age.  After retiring as a public school teacher in the Central Greene School District, he worked as an adjunct art instructor at Waynesburg University, teaching drawing, watercolors and printmaking.   Dave has left teaching and is currently concentrating on his own art work. His luscious pastel landscapes are often created en plein air (a French expression which means "in the open air" and refers to drawing and painting outdoors).  Dave lives in a log home in New Freeport with his wife Miriam, a chef who writes a weekly column for the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, "Miriam's Garden."  Dave's painting studio is in another log building which he purchased, disassembled, moved and re-assembled on his property, with some customized additions.
