David is a careful, conscientious craftsman when it comes to the art of painting. He has a deep understanding of the strength inherent in clear communication. And to communicate is what he does even better than to paint solidly and expertly. David's paintings are vehicles for ideas in addition to visual delectations. Like a good poet, however, he understands the power and efficacy of ambiguous imagery. His work doesn't "bear messages" or "testify" to any creed or constricted point of view. Like all the great artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries who used narrative, symbolism, or simply suggestive imagery in their work, David presents no confused or clumsily blurred ideas. The meaning is there for anyone who exerts the effort to find it, but his paintings are delightfully free of slogans, speech-making and dogma. I should add that there is plenty of delight to be found in his work; his sense of humor is first-rate. His work, finally, transcends political or moral "cartoonery." He offers strong statements presented in a well-composed and skilfully painted , highly varied and masterly form. I'm always pleased to see a new painting appear in his online gallery, and I never fail to learn something from his painting technique and his moral vision. --NCM

Dave's gallery is one of the finest I've ever seen. The way he draws (paints) expressions and detail is fantastic, as well as the compositions of his images and great colour sense. He gets to mix all kind of characters going from real to cartoon-like people and make it look so natural, that one could spend all day long… Read more

Dave's gallery is one of the finest I've ever seen. The way he draws (paints) expressions and detail is fantastic, as well as the compositions of his images and great colour sense. He gets to mix all kind of characters going from real to cartoon-like people and make it look so natural, that one could spend all day long staring at his work. And he's one of the friendlist and funniest people I know.
