David Blackwood’s art hits me right in the heart- the mood, the sense of place, the memory, the loss, the beauty.  It’s almost too much for this ol’ Maritimer to stand.  Surprising?  Hah, us Maritimers are such predictable softies, sheesh, I’m tearing up thinking about me grandfadders.  

I don’t think you can go too far in his native Newfoundland without getting a peek of his 1980 work Fire Down on the Labrador hanging somewhere, but if you’re unfamiliar, take a look at some more work here, or maybe visit his website.
