The Blue Vase - 2006, Oil on Board, 100 x 120cm

When talking about what he paints, David says:

                   What I paint is paint... Paint becomes the flowers, not the flowers become the paint.  I make the petals look like paint not the other way around – the brushstrokes, which are strong, electric and alive, makes a petal with far more vitality, than 20 diligently rendered brushstrokes – they will always fail.” - David Preston, May 2006
