Based in Royal Leamington Spa, England artist David Lewis paints pictures in watercolours and acrylics of many of the town's beautiful old buildings.

"I have painted commissions for village churches and houses in the Cotswolds and local towns. I am fascinated by the architectural detail that surrounds us from the past, the almost lost craftsmanship in stone and brick, the clutter and wire-infested streets of medieval European towns, and I am inspired by the abstractions of the best of today's constructions."

My pictures and paintings are commissioned as wedding presents, Christmas presents, retirement presents, or as a memento of a much-loved family home. Commission a well-tended garden painted in watercolours, as a gift for the garden lover. Commercial properties, pubs, village inns, hotels, and restaurants can be painted and used for advertising, letterheads, etc. Artists' impressions of building development proposals can be produced directly from Architects' plans. I prefer to paint from "life", to capture the true colours, light and shade, etc., but I can work from good quality photographs."
