Bio - Marty David
“Capturing the essence… that’s what it is all about for me and my artwork”, says landscape painter Martin Justin David.
Plein-air is his style. Marty packs his French easel with him; an artists’ box-contraption that he unfolds on the spot at whatever wharf or whatever street or field or bridge suits his fancy.
“I paint what inspires me at the moment and I feel a part of it all somehow when it happens. When that happens and I can capture it in a painting… that’s golden!”
Marty moved to Port Townsend, Washington in the summer of ’99 and has called the Olympic Peninsula home since then, traveling and painting around the Peninsula and also other parts of the Puget Sound region, where he says he never runs out of inspiration, or subjects.
