David Ridgway



b. Seattle, Washington -1949

David Ridgway paints small to medium scale oils. He paints on site and in studio. Many of his paintings continue to investigate the relationship between man and the rural, sub-rural and recently sub-urban landscape. Western architecture, man-made and marine elements are prominent. Occasionally he paints in acrylic, watercolor, pastel and on the Macintosh computer with a graphics pad. He currently resides in Bellingham, Washington.
