David Griffin (American, b. 1952)

 Nocturne Luminary
Oil on canvas, 12 x 16 in

Painting is more than a vocation, ''My paintings are direct observations, results of a life and heritage spent close to the Land, the People, and the West. It's a calling to satisfy a deep desire to speak in a visual medium, telling stories; all the time looking west". My ability to portray these subjects is not without its own struggle. Painting is hard work, but I'm committed to improving my ability to communicate the story in a passionate way, with honesty and vitality that the subject deserves. Although the American West is not the only subject I enjoy painting, I am satisfied that I value God's gift in whatever stage I'm in, and that my purpose is to be the best steward of that gift I can be.
