David Wade - "Early Light"
This painting has been sold.
Dave Wade began selling his paintings in 1976, but the longer he paints, the more he learns about the animals he portrays. His style has changed somewhat since those early works, and he leans more towards a looser, impressionistic style in his recent works; although he admits that different subjects often evoke different styles.
Dave has been the recipient of numerous awards, including five first place awards for the Wyoming Conservation Stamp/Print. He placed in the top 100 in the Arts for the Parks 1998 and 1999 competition, winning the Sam Houston Migratory Bird Award in 1998. Dave’s work has been included in the invitational miniature show at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming for many years, and his illustrations have been published in many books and magazines across the country.
Dave moved from the city to the country in 1998 because of his deep-rooted love of the west and the wildlife still so abundant there. He states, “the joy of my life is living and enjoying every day with my wife and daughter. I am so fortunate to be an artist and to have had a full time art career for the past 25 years.” In his efforts to “give something back”, he has been a faithful supporter of many conservation groups, including the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Foundation for North American Wild Sheep, Ducks Unlimited, and many more.
