Featured Artist - David Stengelsen 
All paintings featured are oil on canvas.

Most of the paintings created in the last 30 years are quite large - from 48 x 60 to 72 x 96 inches.    There are some fine smaller paintings in the collection which  were  completed when the artist was living in Spain.  

 
David's paintings are impressive for his use of color and his large format images.  His subject material features florals, landscapes, cityscapes, and portraits.  Comments about his work include meticulously executed draftsmanship and a complex use of color.  His works can take as little as a month to over six months to complete. He builds, stretches and prepares most of his own canvases in his studio.

Among his influences, he lists German expressionist painters Ernst Kirshner and Oscar Kokoshka, as well as, American painters Milton Avery, Fairfield Porter, Philip Guston and Englishman, Lucian Freud.
