I started painting on vacations in Boothbay Harbor and Cape Cod in the late 80’s. A carpenter by trade, I was always interested in design and aesthetics. Basically self taught, with help from Ann Christensen, Jimmy Green and others, I paint every day and prefer to paint en plein - aire.
For me it’s always been about the possibilities of what lies beyond, or through, or in. This is the larger value, not just what is seen. Plein air painting allows me to develop my skills and become a better artist.
I am an active member of the Boothbay region art community, The Plein - Air Painters of Maine and currently own, with my wife Priscilla, the allen david Gallery, in Downtown Boothbay Harbor, Maine. You may see more of my work at http://www.allendavidgallery.com .
