Painting is a serious effort to deal creatively with deep inexpressible emotions I feel when confronted with the wonder and irony of living in this world. Nature and the man's place in nature is at the center of much of my art. I try to use the visible world to allude to the invisible.

The paintings either watercolor or oil, large or small, are an artifact, a souvenir, of the place, the time and the process. I use color for light and space while working for solid compositions. The results vary in the degree of representation and abstraction.

I am primarily a landscape painter, working directly from nature in a thick, vigorous impasto with a strong emphasis on color. Color expresses excitement and emotion as well as establishing and defining space and form.

An expressionist at heart, I believe that color and form may be freely interpreted and exaggerated, but it is important to me to paint from nature.

I love the art of portrait painting, in which I paint portraits by commission, but I also enjoy painting animals (wildlife) and seascapes as well. I use my palette of oil colors and brushes to form my subjects rather than using a drawing or a linear technique.

My painting style is based on techniques used by modern classical realists. However, my subjects are taken from the present-day, not the Neoclassical Period. I am interested in creating naturalistic images from everyday life with themes ranging from the landscape to the still-life to the figurative including portraiture. I work in oil, watercolor, egg tempera, and acrylic.

FelderDave@ aol.com


David Felder has captured the essential elements of the landscapes he paints and rendered them with skill. His use of color has grown stronger and at the same time more sophisticated and subtle. While many of his landscapes are scenes from travels, more often they celebrate the countryside near his home in North Florida.

Judith Felder's works have been strongly shaped by a fascination with nature and color. Whether it be the opening of a new greenway, water lillies in spring, a coastal marsh in fall, or a mountain sunset, her palette reflects the subtle yet brilliant hues of water, land, earth and sky.

I am enchanted by Nature's beauty and enjoy quiet times of reflection. The task for me is to make an image derived from those sublime moments and yet still allow the painting to develop as a separate identity whose excitement derives from process and execution.

Painting is an intellectual and a sensual pleasure to me. It reflects my life in the attempt to reach an equilibrium: that balance between light and dark, hard and soft, and hope and despair. My paintings are sanctuaries and sources of inspiration, offering comfort and sometimes magic -- and they are a joy to paint.
