This is a fabulous piece by David Michael Slonim. His work really strikes me. Those oranges, and then the whites and grays to calm it back down some… very nice! This is a fabulous painting! It’s available as I write this, at the Visions West Gallery…

David has just finished teaching a workshop that would have been amazing to attend! You may want to check out his blog so you don’t miss his next one!

Did you know that David also illustrates/writes children’s books. Some of the books he illustrates, and some, like He Came With the Couch, he writes as well. The illustrations are magical. These are books that, as a kid, I would keep forever! Truly magical!

This is one that he illustrated – I love it!:
