ARTISTS I ADMIRE & WHY
​

W. DAVID WARD

Paintings in this page by W. David Ward.

Picture
W. David Ward was born in West Yorkshire, England, and immigrated to Canada in 1977. He studied Graphic Design at George Brown College in Toronto. His original paintings have been exhibited in a plethora of fine art fairs and grace the pages of the annual calendar Cottage Country. He lives and works in rural southern Ontario.

If you love soaking into your soul the raw, natural world, as I do, you may very well thirst for more of David’s work. He paints nature as I see it with my very eyes, second to Carol Evans. His paintings have the ability to transport me deep into beautiful, scenic places of solace and silence: pastoral landscapes, wooded hills, forests, lakes, shorelines, cottage country and more. Many of his originals are of remote and mystical places, as he travels extensively for research material.
Picture
Painting realistically, Ward executes beautiful leaves and foliage, water, rocks, clouds and skies, and a great deal more. And he is gifted at painting scenery that is backlit by the ever beloved sunlight.

​To conclude, when I thirst for a silent and soothing mini retreat, I slowly drink in one or two David Ward calendars. And, most likely, one day there will be art books.
