DAVID JOY
SEASCAPES
Oil on Canvas
An American review recently described David as “A romantic minimalist”. Probably because he’s never painted seagulls or boats in his ‘Scapes Series’!

Open invitation from David to visit his garden studio up at the Grange.
The larger scapes were to have been on shown in Santa Monica and the smaller pieces were to be exhibited in Prague but these were cancelled because of the dreaded virus.
There are about a hundred canvases of the scapes series, showing the past eight seasons and its moods over the last few years (big and small).
You are all welcome to come up and view them. Bring up a Flask of tea or coffee (or a bottle of vino!!) and make use of the garden seating.
GALLERY EXHIBITIONS
David often has a residency in a number of outlets for his paintings. One of thes was a gallery opposite the V&A Museum at Dock Street Studios in Dundee.
We were delighted and humbled to have the Scapes exhibit by David Joy with us. It was a fantastic opportunity for all to experience his captivating paintings with such subtle light and depth of textures.
