About this artwork

"Frozen Bog (Morning Light)" is part of the painter's series ' Ecstatic Nature', which captures moments of 'ecstatic joy' experienced by the painter while out in Nature. Sheldon’s highly expressive, impasto paintings are lush and thick with oil paint. Landscapes intensely felt as well as seen, they convey the Artist’s love of the natural world.
The Artist remarks,"This little bog is just 100 yds away from where I live, next to a field I take my… pups to. It's full of chirping
frogs and swirling hummingbirds during the summer. I've grown quite attached to it. This morning, walking
my pups out in the fridgid cold, I saw the bog was frozen solid. I thought of the little frogs and other life
under all the ice...persevering. As I gazed upward, the sun came dappling down through the trees and last
remaining leaves of autumn, and I literally 'saw the light'. "

« My goals in art-making are exploring the nature of who I am, and my relationship to the world. »

At age nine, American painter and sculptor David Sheldon was hospital bound after a major operation and was given his first oil-painting kit- he hasn't stopped making art since. The theme of Sheldon's sculpture work revolves around the question, "Who am I, and what is my relationship to the Infinite?" Regarding his paintings, Sheldon works intuitively, and likes to constantly question his methods. Sheldon't futuristic steel sculptures and abstract expressionist oil paintings are fluid, bright, and intriguing.
