 I did one painting in college then quit painting for 30 years. Then in about 1993, I started up again. I painted after work each day. But I was hooked. I painted more and more. I retired from my job in about 2003 and have painted full time ever since.
I live in a nice white colonial house in Oconto, Wisconsin with with my wife, Suzy, 2 naughty cats and a cute little doggie.
I do all types of paintings....sports portraits, flowers, animals, scenery, cityscapes, lighthouses, ghosts, americana. I use my imagination, and paint a bit photorealistically. Still there is a lot of looseness in my style which adds tremendously to my paintings.
Every painting I do has a story behind it. A while back I was into painting lighthouses with ghosts. I was into nostalgia...when I visited a lighthouse, I imagined who lived there many years ago. Right now I am really into sports portraits. Most of the time I think of a sports icon and then dream up a painting concept about the icon. Right now the guy that everyone is thinking about is Brett Favre. He has now left the Packers.And that is very sad for us Packers fans.
Painting the human face is very very challenging. So right now it is sports figures..but next it might be Elvis, or a politician (well, maybe not) or maybe Ill change subjects and just paint a farm scene. The options are endless.
I sell low cost prints and higher costing originals on on this website. Just pick the painting category on the left side of this page that you are interested in. Just click on that category to view the various paintings.
From time to time I put prints on sale at ebay.com . Just type Hipwell into the ebay search.
Note: Have a lot of older pics at www.DavidHipwell.com |
