Watercolor has been a passion of David's and is evident in his painting and illustration style.  He has developed a colorful, painterly approach, rooted in the tradition of English watercolorists like John Sell Cotman and Cyril Farey.

"As an artist my first response is to draw or paint to communicate my ideas. I strive to tell the story through pictures my words can't easily communicate. The act of painting is a process that involves all of the senses. I immerse myself completely into the subject in order to draw out all of its character and hidden meaning, hoping if I observe it closely enough I may glimpse the true essence of what makes it special."
