Artist Biography
David
McMurry is a painter of the outdoors searching for
a better understanding of the natural world. He creates
many on-site or plein air paintings as a basis of
reference for larger works.
All artists benefit from nature, because
everything has already been created. It is the artist's
job to paint what he sees and not to take his ability
for granted. David believes every piece he does should
be better than the last, so the responsibility becomes
greater as the consumer deserves the bigger end of
the stick.
David enjoys all the outlying
areas of the panhandle, but has a special interest
in landscape and it's various times of day, the evening
being his favorite time as all the rich color falls
on the land, and there is a certain peacefulness to
that time. Raised in farming and cattle, agriculture
and the preservation of our land and its resources
have a special interest for David.
David is an invited guest member of
the Northwest Rendezvous Group, the Oil Painters of
America and the Amarillo Fine Arts Association. David
has studied with Mildred Boyd, Carolyn Stallwitz,
West Texas State University, Scottsdale Art School,
Jim Wilcox, Jackson Art Institute, Scott Christensen,
Skip Whitcomb, Tony Eubanks, Quang Ho, Jim Morgan,
Ralph Oberg and Matt Smith.
