Some of his sea-scapes are absolutely magical. I'll go and see what's there on the web.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-74975994434059757532007-10-20T09:23:00.000+00:002007-10-20T09:23:00.000+00:00Though I don't know his work of course your friend...Though I don't know his work of course your friend may not be exhibiting for the same reason and me and one of my friends. We repeatedly enter and don't get in - non-realism work is not well represented by the society on the whole unfortunately. I was accepted into the show back in 2002 when my work was more representational (it was rather colourist/impressionist in style). Since then, though my work is entirely sea related, it seems of no interest to them. Ditto for a friend whose work is sort of minimalist realism. Neither of us paint boats though, maybe that's teh trick? ;) C'est la vie!Tina Mammoserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407199513409994699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-39980260057754092752007-10-19T20:49:00.000+00:002007-10-19T20:49:00.000+00:00Miki - David has written some excellent books abou...Miki - David has written some excellent books about painting which you might want to look out for - about both his oil painting and his watercolours. I can't remember their titles off the top of my head but I've got them and they're the sort of books where you linger long over each spread!Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-92053566249497450142007-10-19T15:59:00.000+00:002007-10-19T15:59:00.000+00:00Aloha.

While I like the oils quite a bit, the water colors are stunning. I love his warm pallette in the coastal paintings. The way he captures the ageless beautifully of the well used boats is inspiring. One of the things I love best about your blog is that I learn so much from you each day. Discovering David Curtis is a real plus.Miki Willahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01903615512823465964noreply@blogger.com
