David Dupree is an original American Folk Artist painting in a naive style that incorporates pattern, color and drama.

David has a resume that includes truck driving, working on an oilrig, a ranch hand in Wyoming, an oil field mechanic in New Mexico and Texas, a gold miner in Nevada, and a lumber jack in the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. David has been living in Maine since 1985 and is currently employed helping people who are overwhelmed by emotional stress.

As with American country music, David’s paintings tell stories of American life including working and leisure activities and commentaries on the relationship between nature and culture. At Andersen Studio in East Boothbay several of David’s golfing paintings are on view. The sun streams dramatically upon the viewer as a golfer raises his arm preparation for a swing. David’s paintings express a heightened sense of joy and Zen in the every day moments of living. Chop wood and carry water has never been expressed so vividly as they are in the scenes of America found in the painterly paintings of David Dupree. Other paintings on view on Andersen Studio include farming, ice fishing, bicyclers, and baseball scenes as subject matter
