[ art expression ] My name is David Woods. Since the beginning of my life in Panama City, Florida I have loved the animals that share our world. Whether it be the numorous species of fish we are so blessed to enjoy in our area or one of the birds of my favorite family, the birds of prey. I love and appreciate these animals. That is why I have chosen them to be the subject matter of many of my paintings and photography. I try to convey the majesty of the wild world of fish and birds. Besides wildlife, my other passions tend to be subjects of my paintings. Music is very close to my heart. I have been a musician since I was 11 years old. Also, music being the international language makes it the perfect choice for bringing joy into people’s homes.
DAVID WOODS
If I can make a piece of art that another person will enjoy for years to come I have done what I set out to do. I never set out on this journey in the world of art to make money. It just kind of became something that other people appreciated. To be honest, the main reason I continued this beyond the first piece is because of family and friends encouraging me and appreciating the art I had created. I decided as long as people continue to enjoy my creations I will continue to create them. Although now I believe I could never quit.
Painting is a very peaceful, personal time for me.
My photography tends to involve the same creatures that I love to include in my paintings. Though with photography I also enjoy helping people with my portraiture. Since their conception, photos have been something everyone uses to not only document times and situations, but to remember their lives with their family. I can’t explain the joy it brings when I see the look on the faces of a bride and groom when they see their perfect photographs for the first time. Or the way a mother smiles seeing her babies first photo. I guess what I am saying is bringing joy to other’s homes and lives is good enough reason for me to never stop following my calling. Some may not believe that the Lord has a purpose for everyone, but I know He does. And I believe mine is creating beautiful works of art for others to enjoy. So, whether I make a million dollars or ten, Freedom Photography and Fine Art will be around as long as Freedom Woods is. After all, it is the source of my freedom. Thank you for taking a minute to enjoy my work. You can see more images at my Myspace page located at www.myspace.com/freedomwoodsphotography. Check it 38
