Professional Oils on Raymar Linen Panel 8 x 10 Not For Sale
Florals have always been difficult for me. Two years ago I watched the Living Master David Laffel paint these peonies and I was mesmerized.
Born and raised in New York City, David Leffel is a painter in the style of early Dutch and Flemish painters such as Vermeer and Rembrandt. His childhood was quite different from most children as he spent eleven years, from the ages of 4 until 15, in the hospital with osteomyelitis, a bone disease. During this time, he developed a love of art expression, especially drawing. Following high school graduation, Leffel attended Parsons School of Design and Fordham University and worked odd jobs in California and New York. He enrolled in the Art Students League in New York, and eventually taught there for 20 years.
