About this artwork

A stand of old growth spruce trees, looking west at sunset. The warm light filters through the branches and reflects off of the stream cutting through the scene. Hazy gray light on the trees in the distance. 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.
