David is capable of painting any

he has been commissioned to paint
the portrait of the winning bull of
the annual Performance Test Class

DES FREEMAN: FRI 13 SEPT @14H00
In 2011 I started art classes with the
formidable John Smith and suddenly
the world around me started to explode
with vivid colours. The creativity that
had lain dormant in me for so many
years had been reborn. Every piece of
art I paint has a beginning, middle, and
an end. The end phase is normally the
sky; the stage at which my soul takes flight. For me,
painting the sky brings the creative experience – and
the artwork – to completion.

My painting journey has occupied
most of my life. As a young boy I
was captivated by watching a master

thirteen put brush to canvas for the
first time. I’ve had no formal training

me, most notably Dino Paravano and
others. I run workshops around the country, having
