One look at David Cornell’s paintings and his love of
nature is evident. His paintings capture not only the
obvious beauty around him, but also the feeling and
mood of the moment: the warmth of a sunlit meadow,
the current of life in a rushing stream, the cool
shadows of a dense forest.
“When painting landscapes, I
 value essence over composition
 and form, and rely on my
 senses to get the feeling
 and mood of the place.”
