New from David Lloyd Glover - The Rock Series

David Lloyd Glover was born in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, in 1949. His early years were spent at Royal Roads Hartley Castle, formerly the baronial estate of Sir Robert Dunsmuir, which had been converted to a military college where his father served as an administrator. There, surrounded by neo-classical architecture, traditional Japanese, English and Italian gardens, as well as the stunning natural beauty of the British Columbia seacoast, Glover's sensitivity to the relationship between man and nature was nurtured. It is this sensitivity, which is the focal point of his work.

Glover's watercolor technique is largely based on that which is not done, and that which is not there. Paying close attention to the water, he cultivates degrees of colorlessness thus giving the painting to the light, which is softly diffused through the translucent pigments, so the painting is illuminated from within. Rather than rendering form through the definition of mass, Glover often merely suggests substance by painting the shadows that cling to form.
