I love David Bromley. Sally introduced him to me today. I cannot express how much his work inspires me. I want to paint and paint and paint. I haven't felt this inspired in a long while, and it is a fantastic feeling. It makes me want to discover new things, and express my emotions through painting. It makes me feel motivated. I want to go and buy a million blank canvasses....
"I find it interesting to write about my work... I weave through my thoughts and feelings searching for words to parallel the visual. As a presenter of images I express myself through paint and I don't always have a verbal explanation for my outpourings on canvas – perhaps this is why there is some ambiguity in the narrative in my paintings. I don't always like to reveal a definite outcome to the scenarios in my works and prefer the viewer to make their own decision... We all attach different meanings to things based upon our own experiences, opinions and desires. I don't want to eliminate other interesting possibilities..... The sea has its own personality, the horizon itself has romance. You look at it and wonder what lies beyond."

A beautiful post Avril. I love David Bromley's work and maybe I'm a bit obsessed as I have 4 of his beautiful paintings!! He is an inspiration to me also!
Thanks for introducing us to him. Do you have the large paintings or does he do smaller paintings?
Ooops, I guess that question is directed at Anna!
I love his work. He has a painting called Lookout (I think). It's a boy and a girl in a plane. I saw it once and never again.
Thank you Anna. He is a very inspirational artist.
