David, it''s great to see you and your art here. What can I say?, other than your paintings are absolutely brilliant!

Martin Clarke - 9/2/2008 3:40:00 AM

Great to see you here, David. Your work is superb, edgy and authentic.

John Lake - 9/2/2008 3:49:00 PM

Very good David...

Dianne Gall - 9/2/2008 4:45:00 PM

David, I note that you call yourself a hobby artist, I think you are almost good enough to call yourself a ''professional painter''...maybe not now, but perhaps in a couple of years!!!!!! I am joking of course...great to see you here and your fabulous paintings!

Hi, David. On rare occassions, I view the work of a figurative painter that absolutely humbles me. The last time was standing before ''Old Woman Cooking Eggs'' by Diego Velazquez at the MFA in July. It just happened again when I viewed your website. Welcome to Brushspace. Sincerely, J.H. Lukens

Wow! These are fantastic!!

David-I wasn''t familiar with your work. Or thought so. I saw your painting ''Graciela'' online, and instantly remembered seeing it in NYC last November. It was almost hard to see, where it was placed, but I remember saying (aloud apparently), THIS one''s REALLY good. Someone that works there heard me and said, "Yeah, and he''s barely 30". Me, having passed 30 quite a while ago, said, "Ah, who cares." Just envious I guess. Wonderful work, I love it.

Beautiful and thoughtful work.

Just thrilled to see your wonderful paintings again David~I signed up and have downloaded some recent work but I''m not yet on the list of 866.

I saw your work for the first time about a year and half ago through an art forum and became a huge fan right away! Your work inspires me and makes me work harder. You are an amazing talent. Thank you for posting here.

Some stunning designs with great execution.

Absolutely incredible. I love your work.

Lee - 10/1/2008 1:52:00 AM

When I saw "Full Self Portrait" here I recognized your work immediately and ran for my magazines. I first saw your work in American Artist magazine. Wonderful!

Fábio - 10/6/2008 9:37:00 PM

Very impressive work,David.Wonderful!

Fernando Ferreira de Araujo - 10/7/2008 12:03:00 AM

Your work is brillant, breathtaking. It has the old master´s technic, yet it´s contemporay in its essence. Bravo!!

Janice - 10/13/2008 2:36:00 PM

Hobby artist?... And you have a sense of humor too. All I can say is - wow.

Bryce Cameron Liston - 10/15/2008 2:57:00 PM

David, The beautiful subtle flesh tones really come to life in relation to the cool tone around them, great grays. Solid and consistent form. Quality like this is far beyond a "Hobby Artist" Great work! I love "Aurora" -BRYCE

Lorraine Huber - 10/22/2008 4:01:00 PM

I think your work is incredible, you have such insight into the humanity of your subjects and your composition and expertise of painting is superb, do you have any works available to buy directly, or is it always through gallery representation? Thanks for sharing your beautiful paintings Best Wishes Lorraine

Chris Vasil - 11/1/2008 1:40:00 AM

Masterful!

Guy Combes - 11/21/2008 4:38:00 PM

It was good to briefly meet you in person at the Salmagundi. My comment that I admire your work was woefully inadequate. Clearly the best piece in that entire show.

sidney Chambers - 1/25/2009 1:59:00 AM

Your work is fantastic David I could look at it all day. If you ever find yourself in the UK, look me up, love to buy you a beer. Best regards

Your work is monumentally breathtaking. I''ve seen it in the art magazines, and was blown away. Your work breathes life into your subjects. You have such a huge gift. Thanks for sharing with all us little people.
