Today I’d like to introduce my readers to my favorite watermedia artist – David Castle. I met David in a marketing salon run by Alyson Stanfield and we’ve occasionally run into each other at various artist gatherings over the past few years.

David is now blogging and I definitely recommend reading about his current work at davidcastleart.wordpress.com.

His new fossils series is just fascinating. You can read a bit about how he makes the "fossils" in this blog post.

I love his work and am quite enamored his geometric shapes. It almost feels to me like hand dyed/painted fabric that is cut and pieced together very similar to how I make my quilts. I love it!
