A Northern Romance By David Renshaw

We’ve recently received work in Artery Gallery from David Renshaw. A new artist to us, the work that we’ve selected represents David’s more whimsical side. Amongst the scenes, a lone man sees the potential for love when he happens across a woman standing under the boughs of a tree in ‘Searching for Love’. Each of his paintings is also beautifully framed to David’s exacting standards.

‘Searching for Love’

It’s at this point that I would normally write a little bit about David but as he has kindly supplied us with a short biography and, frankly no-one knows David better than himself, I’ll let him tell you himself.

“Deep down I always knew what I wanted to do for a living my school years I remember my dad teaching me some basic elements of drawing using light and shade in pencils and I dreamed one day becoming an artist.

Being only interested in art I left school and studied Graphic Design at Southport College after which I found work and started at a local art gallery as a picture framer.

Needing to support my young family I worked in the art and picture framing industry for twelve years but also managed to paint part-time producing mainly private commissions for people at the same time developing new techniques and ideas

Although I enjoyed my job I still knew that this was not the life I really wanted and I eventually decided it was time to follow my dreams and with the support of my wife and two children I took the plunge, leaving my job to concentrate on painting full-time.”
