“The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.” ― Vincent Van Gogh Tend to agree with Vincent about the excitement that the inherent dangers of venturing offshore brings …. always the possibility of a disaster if you are not careful. I found this boat safely moored in the estuary at Airlie Beach in Queensland. I painted it on location on the other side of the estuary en plein air, pretty well in one session – it just needed a few touch ups back at the campsite the next day. Very happy with it…..I think I managed to get the environment and the boat existing as one, rather than traditional ‘object and ground’, which is the first aspiration these days for this guy, using similar tones in the background to bring the colour notes together. Please note that as I am travelling at the moment, that this painting is shipped as a piece of canvas, which will need to be put on a stretcher and framed, so please factor that cost into your considerations. I have provided a couple of photos of it framed and hung to give you an idea of what it may look like in your

I’m Jean David, and I am an artist and art teacher. I have had a passion for painting and drawing all my life. These days, I will generally paint and draw anything that will be still enough for long enough to let me! I prefer to paint directly (ie with the actual subject matter in front of me, rather than a photo) either in the studio or out in the elements ‘en plein air’. To me, a well executed drawing or painting (mine or anyone else’s) can convey a truth more eloquently, an emotion or a feeling of human experience more truthfully than any other form of expression. I can still remember the first time I saw a Leonardo drawing in a text book – I was literally transfixed at how the world could be viewed in a different way other than how I had been brought up. To me, the Leonardo drawings were able to get directly to the heart of the matter, and disregard what he could not be bothered to ‘see’. Since my decision to become a full time artist some twenty something years ago, I have tirelessly pursued a goal to be able to just do it better. This has inevitable involved me going through a number of stages and phases, all of which have helped me acquire more experience and skills as I moved forward. It has long been touted that in order for an artist to develop, he/she needs to travel and experience different environments, so the journey is a physical one as well, and my wife (Isix) and I have lived in Australia, England, Wales, The Netherlands , Hong Kong and France, taking in many other countries along the way, including Spain, Portugal, Italy, Scotland, Germany, Croatia, Russia, Sweden, Crete, Fiji, New Caledonia.
