Biography

Barclay describes his work as contemporary realism. "I try to capture the interplay of light and shadows in a scene or around an object. My recent series of musical instrument paintings capture the three dimensional nature of each piece through the use of realistic wood grain representation and extensive shadowing. I am also drawn to more contemporary close-up views that, while only showing a fraction of the whole piece, let the viewer know instantly what is portrayed."

To create the realistic wood grain effect used in the instrument series, Barclay applied multiple layers of specially mixed pigment and glaze. In some pieces, nearly 20 layers were used to achieve the visual effect of graining, depth and shadows.

David Barclay lives in Northampton, MA with his wife and younger daughter. He has studied fine art painting under Vitek Kruta, a European-trained master painter, designer and art restorer from Holyoke, MA, (see Links) and Nava Grunfeld, an internationally known watercolor artist from Northampton, MA.
