| PAINTING OF THE WEEK:
"Salt Water Cowboys"
This small 5 inch by 7.25 inch painting depicts the salt marsh surrounding this famous restaurant just south of St. Augustine, Fla. We enjoyed the rainy sky, the first precipation for several months in the area. Salt Water Cowboys was recommended to us by a friend as a great dinner place to include on our vacation and certainly was worth the trip up the coast from Cape Kennedy. The painting is for sale for $50 including an acid free mount and mat.
Works by David and his wife Kathie will be included on the Cortland Arts Trail throughout the year.

David Beale draws upon a broad range of lifetime experiences in his
approach to painting watercolors. His need for artistic expression began after
joining the Peace Corps and visiting Abrego, Columbia during the revolution. When he returned, Beale studied music composition at Duke and Cornell
Universities with the intention of becoming a professional music composer. One
of his early pieces, "Reflections on a Park Bench," was performed at Carnegie
Hall in 1976. Beale soon turned to carpentry and in 1975 founded Southern
Exposure, a remodeling company based in Ithaca. He ran Southern Exposure until
2000, when he and his wife Kathie (also an artist and teacher) opened The
Picture House Frame Shop in Cortland, NY. David Beale's medium of choice
changed at 50 when he took a workshop in watercolors. Beale recently built a
cottage-sized house adjacent to a seven acre wildlife pond, McCloy Pond, in the Finger Lakes region of New York which
provides inspiration for many of his paintings.
