NEW WORK
A small sampling of my latest paintings. To see what I'm working on right now, follow me on Instagram @davidpalmerstudio.
This series is inspired by flying dreams, Italian Renaissance paintings of angels, and childhood memories of my brother and I repeatedly jumping off the roof of our garage onto the lawn below.
This painting is the same size as the actual shark I got for Christmas when I was 12 years old. My parents ordered it, along with a dissecting kit, from a catalog I’d borrowed from my biology teacher. The basement became my laboratory. It was also our laundry room. I kept the organs I extracted in a vat of formaldehyde for a month, until my mother finally made me throw them out.
