"Painting is my “happy place.” I am continually in awe of the God-created beauty that surrounds me in nature and feel that it elicits a response from the depths of my being. Painting is my way of reacting to the beauty that I see. Whether on a walk, going for a swim, taking a ride in a boat or car, I am continually observing the glorious nature that I feel privileged to be a part of. Watching how light always interacts with nature, I am pulled into that world, and am filled me with inspiration. My mission is to capture a moment in time of an ever-changing world in which the airy weight of a cloud drifts over the landscape, where a wave swells to a crest and then breaks or a tide that floods and recedes effortlessly while time marches on, never to be seen again." -David Denyse.
