Sunset Reflections

2010-03-11T12:52:00.000-08:00

A 12x16" oil on canvas, this one captures the last rays of the days light, as they reflect on the gentle waves. (SOLD)

Mother and Son by the Sea

2010-03-11T12:46:00.000-08:00

A scene from the New England shoreline, of a mother and young son. Loosely painted, this one is a favorite of mine.

It is 8x10", acrylic $1600

Portrait Sample

2010-03-11T12:39:00.000-08:00

In addition to offering my newest works for sale exclusively to friends and collectors, I, at times, like to share other works as well. This recent portrait commission of a friend and his dog. The closeness of the two, and an informal feel, was the goal here. (not for sale)

Liberty

2010-03-05T05:07:00.000-08:00

After the attacks of 9-11, I felt inspired to create a series of images of children by the beach, incorporating the image of the American Flag. This series was entitled "American Summer", and this is one of the best of the bunch, I feel. 40x30" $10,800 framed

Summer Dunes

2010-03-05T05:00:00.000-08:00

I have always liked images that present a simple and peaceful image of fields, hills, or beach dunes. They often provide a feeling of direct connection with nature. This one is from the Nantucket coast, in mid summer. It is 8x16", framed in gold leaf, $1600

Downtown

2010-03-05T04:49:00.000-08:00

Occasionally an American town captures some of the feel of European sidewalk culture. This is of Lexington, MA, where I grew up. Years ago the plan was made to "save" the downtown from urbanization by putting in a wide, tree-lined, brick sidewalk. It was an unqualified success. I have spoken to people, on a number of occasions, who were moving to the Boston area from Europe, and have said they chose to live in Lexington just for this downtown/sidewalk area! They like living with it, and I hope will enjoy this this painting as well. It is an oil on canvas, 16x12", $2400 in gold leaf frame

Charles River Rower

2010-03-05T04:46:00.001-08:00

Each autumn, one of the year's great rowing events, the Head of the Charles Regatta, comes to Cambridge, MA. The image here is of a solitary rower, just about to pass under a bridge near Harvard University. It is painted in acrylic, a medium I occasionally use when looking for a more gestural quality. Some work out, some don't! When they do, they have an impressionistic unique quality, which I feel this one captures. As much faster works, they also retail for significantly less than an oil the same size. 24x18", framed in black wood frame with brown undertones, $2800

Poppy Field, England

2010-01-28T11:39:00.000-08:00

Fresh of the easel as I write this, Jan 28th, 2010, a larger than usual (19x34") Poppy Field, from a trip to the Cotswolds in England. This field was just what I was looking for on the trip, a great example of the wild fields of poppies that create such stunning landscapes in the midlands of England in June. Framed as shown, in gold, $4800 incl frame

Red Sail

2010-01-17T14:30:00.000-08:00

A classic image of a Catboat sailing of Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard. 8x14", framed. (SOLD)

Poppy Field, Near Henley, England

2010-01-17T13:26:00.000-08:00

An 8x10" Poppy Field, in oil, of a lovely field near Henley-on-Thames. My wife and I were in Henley several years back and I started a series of images from a field not far from the famous Henley Regatta on the Thames. Recently I was back in England, and spent sometime in Exmoor National Forest. The landscape there inspired me to get back to this painting, and it was recently finished in the studio. ( SOLD )

In the Mist, By the Shore/January 2010

2010-01-15T13:40:00.000-08:00

This is the latest available work in the Misty Beach series, possibly my most popular artworks. The sense of quiet that the palette brings to this work is what initially attracted me to this series, and this new work is one of few to focus on a larger figure in closer focus. The painting is an oil on canvas, 24x20", framed in an ornate frame, with liner. The cost is $4800 including the shown frame.

Mother and Daughter /January 2010

2010-01-15T13:32:00.000-08:00

This is a large image, 40x30", and the scale is what interested me, as well as the beautiful image. At this scale, the figures seem to be in the room with the viewer, the scene something one can step right into.

With this work, as is often the case, my beach work is influenced by the work of the Spanish master Sorrolla, and the loose brushwork in the background waves shows this especially. It comes in a gold leaf frame (not shown) and retails with it included for $9,800.

Beach Light

2010-01-15T13:24:00.000-08:00

The sun coming through the beach dress, and reflecting off the water below, is an image that never ceases to interest me. Now at WH Patterson Gallery in London. 30x24"

Neale Farm Cows/January 2010

2010-01-15T13:20:00.000-08:00

An oil from several months back of the cows at Neale Farm, Jamestown. The frame is Gold Leaf, and the painting is 8x16". This subject has been very popular, and this is one of two left from a much larger series. $1600 incl frame.

Jamestown Cows/ January 2010

2010-01-15T13:09:00.000-08:00

I have enjoyed creating a series of images of the "Belted Galloway" cows kept on the Neale Farm in Jamestown, RI. They have nearly all sold, this just completed painting being one of two available works. It is an 8x10" acrylic on board, and has a black frame. Price is $800.

2010-01-15T12:41:00.000-08:00

Painting Demonstratioin on Martha's Vineyard, Summer 09

2010-01-15T11:53:00.000-08:00

This past summer I was invited to paint a live portrait sample for the Eisenhauer Gallery on Martha's Vineyard. The painting is of Alexander, son of gallery director and owner Elizabeth Eisenhauer. The event was good fun, and the painting well received as well!

In the background is an example of the family portraits of mine that Elizabeth represents. For more info on commissioning a portrait, please visit my main website, www.davidschock.com.

Recent Family Portrait-Not For Sale

2010-01-15T06:40:00.000-08:00

Here is a better look at the family portrait in the background of the photo above. It is set on the Dunes Club beach in Narragansett, RI. This painting was featured on the TV spot for the RI public TV art auction in 2009, the year I was awarded "Best of Rhode Island" for my work in family portraits, by RI Monthly magazine.

A Recent Family Portrait ~Private Commission / Not for sale

2009-12-10T12:29:00.000-08:00

This is a recently completed family portrait, and a good example of why I find this work so rewarding. It is of their two lovely children in the beautiful setting of their family home.

I accept only a limited number of commissions a year, keeping time aside for painting landscapes, and so on, so if you are interested in commissioning a portrait of your family for 2010, please contact me asap

Possible Dreams Auction

2009-11-27T19:08:00.000-08:00

Several years back, I had the opportunity to participate in the Possible Dreams Auction on Martha's Vineyard. I have been represented on the island by the well known Edgartown Art Gallery for many years, and they helped to connect me with the group running the famous auction.

Here is an image of MC Art Buchwald and the works of mine that were displayed to represent the "Possible Dream" of being my next model. Also taking part live as donors were Walter Cronkite, Carly Simon, and Mike Wallace.

I have always had a soft spot for the year round community on Martha's Vineyard which the auction supports, as I first got to know the Island years ago from my cousin Rob Ford, who was a year rounder. It was a real honor to partake in this great Martha's Vineyard tradition.
