About this artwork
David says he was drawn to capture the eeriness of this deep forest setting. The distant light through the trees creates an ethereal setting, amplified by the contrast between the glowing stream and haziness in the air. This piece is part of David's signature series of landscapes inspired by his surroundings in New York's Finger Lakes region. He often takes long drives on the backroads with his camera looking for unique views or compositional components. David's paintings are easily identifiable by his technique of painting in the negative. He gessos his canvases in black and then paints around the areas he intends to be black. If you see a black tree or a bridge, they have not been painted - the space around them has been painted.
