UNMATTED PRINT:20"x10" full-color print presented on backing in clear display sleeve. Copyright warning on print is much smaller than shown and would be covered by most mats or frames. The round monkey seals are absent. Where does David get his ideas? ... This is always a difficult question to answer. The best ideas always spring from sources unknown. But certainly ones milieu and interests play a part. David is an avid film and theater goer. (His favorite contemporary playwrights are Tom Stoppard and Harold Pinter.) He also loves Shakespeare and attends the Ashland Shakespeare Festival every year. He listens to music while he paints (from Mozart to Gershwin to Randy Newman) and he is an avid reader (favorite authors include Samuel Beckett, John Cheever, Edith Wharton, and Alan Bennett.) These influences often find their way into his paintings. Typically, he hears a phrase in a play or a passage of music and feels compelled to translate the idea into a visual form. But, his creative process is very organic and often his finished paintings are quite different from his original conceptions. |
