About this artwork
The birds sense the ominous power
And seek their nests in tree or on cliff
The trees bow their heads, all leaves atrembling
As the wind whips up the white crests
Until the sea is a froth of snow-maned horses
A single sunbeam picks out the island
It stands in stark relief to the grey of the water
While overhead is a building sense of fury
The gathering of storm clouds is over the horizon. Marilyn Shepperson – The Gathering Storm
“Mankind has never… been in this position before. Without having improved appreciably in virtue or enjoying wiser guidance, it has got into its hands for the first time the tools by which it can unfailingly accomplish its own extermination. That is the point in human destinies to which all the glories and toils of men have at last led them. They would do well to pause and ponder upon their new responsibilities." ― Winston S. Churchill, The Gathering Storm

« Expressing my love of colour and design, my paintings convey a sense of spirituality. The concept of ‘flourishing’ is a prominent theme in my work. »
David Tomlin is an exciting Canadian painter who has exhibited his work nationally, including in the US, Canada and France. Self-taught and creating from a signature Canadian perspective, he composes surreal, vibrant paintings that exalt natural light and colour. He is influenced by Impressionism, and more profoundly by Canadian First Nations artists in their representations of humanity's relationship to the natural world. Tomlin's semi-abstract style showcases purpose, intensity and an energizing visual flourish. Together with a love of colour and a passion for design, Tomlin's paintings evoke a sense of contemplative spirituality expressing his understanding of the three ‘transcendentals’- BEAUTY, GOODNESS, and TRUTH.
