David Hollowell at his studio

[Deladier Almeida]

40" x 62" oil on linen.

David Hollowell is a painter who teaches in the UC Davis Art Department.

One of my best classes in college was a special study on human anatomy where we got to dissect cadavers with the medical school first years.

David was the art teacher although he never stepped into the dissection lab. Human remains spooked him. Go figure...

Behind him is the painting he is currently working on.

Dear Deladier,

Another most excellent painting!

I like the dash and style you bring to your subjects as well as the risks you take with composition (and yes, I do think you have done this very successfully in this painting). I just looked at the measurements on this one: it is one big painting! Good for you.

It's always a pleasure to see your work on the Forum.

Dear Deladier,

This is one huge and amazing painting! It's breathtaking. I love the way the slightly angled background plane draws the viewer into an engagement with the subject. There is an incredible level of focus and resolution in your impeccable draughtmanship. Linda said it well about your dash and style and successful risk taking.

I love it. This is a treat, thanks for sharing it.

Wow! That's all I can say. Unconventional and so engaging. I've checked into your web site periodically ever since you posted Max Mack here (one of my all-time favorite paintings). As Garth said, thanks for sharing.
