1947 - 1998

Artist David Armstrong chose to live the life he painted on a farm in Pennsylvania where he could be in touch with the harmony of nature and man, a harmony he depicted in his paintings. Armstrong insisted on working directly from his subjects, not only to get to know the landscape intimately but to become moved by an emotion for the place. He said, "I am not interested in painting the objects. I want to paint a mood, and a mood comes from a deep and honest emotion."

Educated at the Taft School, the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Bucknell and Indiana Universities, Armstrong painted primarily in watercolors and oils. At the age of 12, Armstrong's talent was recognized by one of America's greatest artists, Eric Sloane.

Armstrong's work portrayed the artist's own mood of "quiet stillness where fantasy and discovery of something timeless come together." He admitted that he approached his work and the world he paints "in a childlike fashion, with an eternal curiosity and the belief that no discovery is ever insignificant."

If you enjoy the art of David Armstrong, you should appreciate the work of Nita Engle and Carolyn Blish.
