Looking Down on Camden | Stephen Springer Davis | 2010
Camden has to be one of the prettiest towns in Maine. It’s right on the water and has a beautiful harbor surrounded by lovely, nicely kept homes. Nice parks, an enviable library that probably has multiple copies of The Preppy Handbook. Some might say the town leans to the hoity-toity, and I’d be inclined to agree. Let’s just say that I did this painting of the town from the distance that for me was the most comfortable.

Beachcombers in Belfast, Maine | Stephen Springer Davis | 2010
I like to find a beach scene where there’s a lot of beach and plants in the foreground, and the ocean fairly far away. This spot accommodated me because the tide went way out. When the tide was in here, people who wanted to wander by the ocean had no choice but to wander by the ocean, because there was really no beach, just rocks.

Hello.
I'm Stephen Springer Davis
I'm a pretty much self-taught and pretty much unknown artist and designer living near Philadelphia. The plan is to tell you about my artwork, why I do it, maybe how I do it, and also about other artists who've inspired me along the way.
My definition of the term "painting" will remain intentionally broad so I can talk about anything that interests me.
