My late cat, Dexter, asked me, “My bag’s packed. When do we leave?”
Thursday, March 1st, 2012
This is the second painting in a series of three that will commemorate our cats, who sadly have all died after long and sweet lives.
Dexter's Bag is Packed | Stephen Springer Davis | 2012
Dexter was that kind of cat who would lie on top of anything that was out of place on any surface: a piece of paper; a hat; a glove. If that thing also happened to be comfy, awesome: the laundry basket; a suitcase, a jacket. If we needed that thing he was lying on to be removed, say to use it, we understood that we would have to replace that item with one of equal value and if possible, comfort.
While Zoe, who I last wrote about, was never all that interested in strangers, Dexter was thrilled when someone new was on the scene. He was such a sweetie-pie that his name modulated over the years to become Dextrose.

Back to Acadia National Park
Monday, November 28th, 2011
For the first time in a of couple years I had the opportunity to do some painting at Acadia National Park in August. Here’s a painting from what were several really beautiful days there. In the past the weather has been cool and foggy, so it was great to visit when the sun was actually blazing.

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.
