I believe my art and my words have spoken clearly and unequivocally: summer is the season that I love best of all. The warm weather, the long days, the green trees and grass, the buzzing of crickets, the flickering of fireflies: all of these, and so much more, combine to make this season The One for me. It's no surprise, then, that when I am inspired to paint, the images more often than not are ones that portray this very time of the year. It inspires, excites, and pleases me to no end. However, one of the paintings in my "Great American Songbook in Pictures" series, "Autumn Leaves" tells the story of a summer love that came to an end just as the seasons begin to change. When I listen to the song lyrics, as I have so many times, those that particularly stand out to me are these: "But I miss you most of all My darling When autumn leaves Start to fall" The young woman on the canvas expresses not only her sadness at the loss of a promising love, but also MY personal sense of loss as the hemisphere transitions from the season that fills me with great happiness and joy to the one of cooler weather, shorter days, and falling leaves. We're not quite there yet, but winter is now a certainty on the horizon, not just a distant memory. And for that, and for the long wait until the next summer, I feel sad—and await the springtime.

born: 1958 Troy NY, USA David Arsenault was first captivated by art in 1970 when he discovered a reproduction of Edward Hopper's painting "Gas" in a grade school library book. However, it wasn't until the early 1990s--more than twenty years later--that a professor in his graphic arts program reintroduced him to Hopper's work and he decided to study painting. The early influence had it's effect on him to the degree that The Wall Street Journal wrote that "Some of Mr. Arsenault's paintings could pass for works by Edward Hopper." He studied painting at the University at Albany (NY). Since 1993 when he first began showing, David has had or participated in well over one hundred fifty local, regional, and national exhibitions. He has shown in New York, Chicago, on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, throughout upstate New York, and now in Rockport, Massachusetts at his gallery, The Art of David Arsenault. His oil paintings, giclee prints, and reproductions are found in private and corporate collections around the world. Arsenault became a juried member of the Rockport Art Association in 2015. He and his wife relocated to the seaside town of Rockport, Massachusetts in November of 2014; in March of 2015 they opened The Art of David Arsenault Gallery; now in it's seventh year of existence, it resides at 8 Dock Square in the historic downtown Cultural District. His work is best known for large shapes, dramatic lighting, and strong color, which creates a compelling sense of mood, time, and place. Each piece presents a quiet exploration of everyday life. Arsenault strives to describe instants of shared human experience by expressing the transformational qualities of light, a sense of deeply personal encounters, and the elusive moment frozen in time.
