David Thomason ARTIST
It all started when I was a boy in Santa Fe, New Mexico
Wondering into a fancy gallery I rounded the corner and came face to face with a massive abstract. Bright red brush strokes slashed the canvas with passion and joy. I don’t know how long I stood there taking in the painting but it took a while as it was easily bigger than my Dad’s work truck. That was it - modern art had me heart, soul and everything.
Hopeful Modern Art
I love writing and rewriting so it’s a little bit of a shock that, “Hopeful Modern Art” has stayed with me for so long. It comes from feeling deeply and working to be very careful what I take into my soul. As a young Artist I had friends wildly take the dark road. Expressing the depressing and maddening things in life. Bringing their skills to bare on how hard life can really be and I knew that would not be where I went. I knew I wanted to bring hope, light and life. It’s where I fit. It’s what I make. I hope you enjoy it.
