David Howell was born in 1939 and works from his studio in Somerset.   He paints in watercolour, oils and pastels and his output includes landscape and marine, equestrian related to racing, shooting pictures, life work and anything else that takes his fancy.   David firmly believes that irrespective of the subject the only thing that really matters is the quality of the painting.   He travels widely and lived and worked for many years in the Middle East and he still returns to Arabian work from time to time..

David has had over 20 one-man shows in various parts of the world and he has consistently been involved in group exhibitions in London and elsewhere over the last 30 years or so . David’s work is very much in demand and apart from John Noott he e xhibits regularly at the Mall Galleries in London and also overseas in the USA, Dubai, Holland and Melbourne Australia and his work hangs in collections worldwide ranging from royal palaces in the Middle East to London boardrooms.   David is a Past President of the Royal Society of Marine Artists.
