David is a unique American painter with a style influenced by pointillism and a storyteller’s sensibility. David’s paintings tell stories of America at work and at play. From oilrigs to baseball. The stories make the viewer want to step back and take it all in, drawn into philosophical speculation on the meaning of the narrative and then - the surface quality, composed of patterns of thousands of tiny dots draws the viewer closer, seduced by the inner scale that underlies the larger context of our ordinary world view.
