Artist Biography:
David Milton is an artist whose unique application of watercolors and oils achieves a remarkable depth of color and emotional intensity. For the past fifty years, this native New Yorker has re-created with an eye for detail, vintage architecture of the 1930′s, 40′s and 50′s on paper and canvas, only to find later that many of his subjects had been lost to a wrecking ball. Milton merges his expertise in photography and watercolor with his mission to preserve the vanishing icons of Americana. Architectural details are exact except for the colors which are enhanced. His work is held in many corporate collections including 20th Century Fox, Los Angeles, Bank of America, World Headquarters in San Francisco to numerous private collections. Paintings have been exhibited in many museums including the Palm Springs Desert Museum, the Laguna Beach Art Museum, the Winston Churchill Museum, the Taos Art Museum and the Mississippi Museum of Art.
