Still Water Peace & Quiet

Original Painting · 36 x 36 cm framed

Why we love this piece

We love how David Alderman sets the lone white swan adrift in deep emerald water, creating a gentle pause beneath the playful rhythm beyond. Trained at Salford School of Art, David builds his imagined Cheshire landscapes in layers from intricate sketchbooks. His design eye gives every mark a lively sense of purpose. A charming original for collectors drawn to pastoral warmth, rich colour and quiet storytelling.

David Alderman

About the artist

David Alderman attended Salford School of Art in the mid1960s before embarking on a successful design career. David’s intricate and detailed sketchbooks reveal a passion for drawing that stretches back to his student days and form the basis for his paintings created in the studio. Now living and working in...

Now living and working in Cheshire, David’s multi-layered paintings capture pastoral scenes of imagined landscapes. The artist’s local environment provides ample inspiration for his jovial and somewhat naïve artwork, with local grazing sheep surrounding much of the countryside.

Forest Gallery are delighted to welcome David and can arrange unique commissions on request.
