Welcome to Dave Watland's website, an online collection of original artwork. Dave is a Western Canadian artist and lives in the beautiful Okanagan Valley with his wife and three children. While experiencing his art, Dave's audience gets a glimpse of nature from his unique viewpoint. His paintings offer an infinite variety and create a soothing, abstract quality beneath the realism. Despite the primarily inanimate nature of his paintings, Dave's work projects a life and energy that find their source in his belief in the Creator and his passion for the outdoors. Enjoy the watercolours and acrylics Dave has created by browsing these online galleries, or visiting a local exhibition. When you find the image that stirs your heart and mind, contact Dave and you could call a piece your very own.       "Check out my ambitious "A Painting A Week" at: http://www.davewatland.blogspot.com " -
