Paintings by Dave

Oil on canvas 18 inches by 24 inches Completed on 8 August 2024 An attempt at using Van Gogh-style techniques to depict a landscape near Memramcook on a summer Sunday morning.

Oil on canvas 39 inches by 27 inches Completed on 28 July 2024 Marc and William facing off in a composition inspired by Cezanne's The Card Players (1894-95). The brick background is from the Epoch Chemistry coffee shop on St. George Street in Moncton.  

  Oil on canvas 36 inches by 24 inches Completed on 28 July 2024 From a photo I took during my trip to France in August 2001. The woman at lower left is my friend Elsa Freyssenet.

  Oil on canvas 32 inches by 24 inches Completed on 27 July 2024 An abandoned house in Murray Corner, N.B., photographed during a drive in the country on Canada 2024.

  Oil on canvas 32 inches by 39 inches Completed on 7 July 2024 William in a pose I borrowed from a famous photo of Bertolt Brecht, with an engraving of Friedrich Schiller looking over his shoulder. The yellow-and-blue wallpaper is borrowed from Cezanne - it's in a number of his paintings, including Madame Cezanne in a Red Armchair (1877), which we saw at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in April 2024 - so it was probably on the walls of his house.  

Oil on canvas 30 inches by 22 inches Completed on 28 June 2024 William fishing on the Cocagne River, at the Pont de Notre-Dame.  

Oil on canvas 32 inches by 40 inches Completed on 23 June 2024 A large-scale canvas with Marc as model. Peggy's grandfather's pocket watch is sitting in the china dish, and the lamp is a prop from the Salvation Army. This was the second time I've painted Mme Manet at the piano: I did a proper copy of it in acrylics in 2023.
