David Rettker
My paintings are an appreciation of ordinary, often unseen
moments in our everyday lives. My recent subjects are city scenes
or landscapes; it fascinates me that finding inspiration is as
simple as taking a walk.
My favorite paintings start and end fast. Beginning with a quick
layout of value and colors, I try to stick with a simple palette and
broad, gestural strokes to preserve the original, spontaneous
inspiration of the piece.
