By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the first of two 12-piece exhibitions of works by contemporary 

American landscape painter David Lussier (born 1959 in Connecticut, USA). 
 

David is an award-winning contemporary impressionist and nationally-recognized plein air painter and workshop instructor. David started his career as a commercially-trained illustrator, but he quickly realized that his passion was in the fine arts. He has been painting professionally for more than twenty five years, has garnered more than 75 prizes for his work and is in numerous private and corporate collections throughout the United States.

 

He is a painter in the purist sense of the word. In his poetic and intimate oil landscapes he strives to capture the essence and sense of place of his subject matter. His use of bold broad brushwork brings the surfaces to life and begs the viewer to return for a second look. 

 

His work has been featured in many art journals and he is a professional member of some of the finest art associations and groups in the country.
