Straightforward and welcoming, bold and realistic…David Belling’s watercolor style captures the spirit of the timeless beauty he finds in nature and living history.
The Ft. Myers News Press says, “He is one with his subjects - arguably the region’s best known landscape painter.” It’s been said that his structures lean from the paper yearning to tell their tales. “When I see something that retains a link with the past, I’m drawn to it. My aim is to open the viewer’s eye to history that is still in use in some fashion, and stir memories.” Many Southwest Florida landmarks that Belling has put into limited edition prints have already been altered by storms or man. It’s been noted that he is preserving our unique past on paper.
When weather permits, David can be found on location surrounded by nature’s beauty – often finishing a painting in one sitting. Other times he draws inspiration from the view from his Cape Coral studio overlooking the Caloosahatchee River.
Although he is a year round Florida resident, David has found subject matter everywhere he travels; with Alaska and Door County, Wisconsin his favorite destinations. |
