David Connolly

I grew up in Brigus Newfoundland with a great appreciation for the beauty of my surroundings and a fascination with traditional Newfoundland architecture. While I have painted most of my life for pleasure I have only become a serious painter within the last six years. It is Newfoundland I most like to paint. I am captivated by the process of turning what I see into finished works of art. I use a camera to capture my subjects then translate them onto canvas in my studio. My paintings lend to evoke memories of earlier places and times. Although I have lived in Toronto for many years I return to Newfoundland as often as possible for inspiration. My paintings for me fulfill a sense of the past, and reflect my love ot that wonderful place and its treasures.
