‘No matter how chaotic it is, wildflowers will still spring up in the middle of nowhere.’ Sheryl Crow How true is that, and there is certainly plenty of chaos around at the moment. However, it is nice to get a little solace from something as elegantly simple and resilient as some flowers popping up on the side of the road. I painted this abstraction from a bunch of extraordinary wildflowers next to the road while we were on our way to pick up our Christmas ham a few weeks ago. At that time, we were pretty much in lockdown here in the south west of France, but were free to do essential things provided you had filled out the form and were carrying it with you. After consideration, I decided to err on the side of caution, (in case the gendarmerie did not consider plein air painting as an essential practice with respect to public health) and takes some notes and some pictures on my phone, and continue the painting in the studio. Really enjoyed throwing the paint around and losing the form but keeping the colour and texture, similarly to the larger painting of the Japanese Maple I posted a few weeks ago – a painting I am pleased to say has been sold yesterday, and is off to it’s new home in Belgium shortly.

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.
