In 2000 the Springfield Museum of Fine Arts in Springfield, Massachusetts hosted a 25-year retrospective of David’s oil paintings and Douglas’s watercolors titled, “Oil and Water.” It was the first venue to showcase David’s masterpiece, “Colors,” a 67x50 inch trompe l’oeil of Aerosmith drummer, Joey Kramer’s stunning motorcycle jacket. Sold to Missouri collector, Crosby Kemper in the opening minutes of the show, “Colors” is now a permanent part of the Bebe and Crosby Kemper Collection at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, Missouri. After three months at the Springfield Museum of Fine Arts, “Oil and Water” traveled to the Albrecht-Kemper Museum in St. Joseph, Missouri where it remained on display for an additional three months.
Since then David’s works have been exhibited at the New Britain Museum of American Art in New Britain, Connecticut, the Art Complex Museum in Duxbury, Massachusetts and at the Vose Galleries of Boston during his solo show “Eyeful” in the fall of 2003. A dual show of David and Douglas’s work is slated for an August 2006 opening on Nantucket Island at the Robert Wilson Galleries.
David continues to work both at his studio in North Marshfield and his studio of nearly twenty-five years in Marshfield Hills, Massachusetts. He’s married to artist Victoria Chesley Brega and has two children, Kate and Jess from his first wife Lynn.
