Flight of the Seed


"Flight of the Seed"
Measurement:  17" x 20"
Medium:  Stainless Steel

The composition is a mixed subject of floral design with bird.  My wife wanted to see a Bird of Paradise arrangement made and I wanted to work on a Bird so a search began.  The results was quite astounding after some sketches were made and crossing the creative line.

The Bird of Paradise is the head of course!

The Bird body is the Hoatzin of Africa.

History of Artist Techniques


As we all know history will exchange paths at one time or another on the things we do. The artist conducted a search for quite sometime to find the exchange of his "Artistic Balance".
The art of Mr. Christoph Beck of Basel, Switzerland, 1682 is very close in technique and style. Mr. Beck made the "Crown of the Silver Guild" and presented it to the Royal House of Switzerland. The primary difference is the mediums, he used the malleable alloy Silver and I use Stainless Steel.

I have challenged myself to create sculptures of refined detail with the style of ancient world metal work that holds a modern twist. With a painterly style, layering of translucent acrylics brings out the details of the "Single Blow and Repousse' techniques". A subject line that is taken from the essence of nature for a full body art by making a balanced composition. High expectations for quality, an art style for those that demand better things in their life style.

Deeper Art designed by the Collector

A lot of times an Artist gets trapped in their own work and has a hard time breaking their pattern of thought. Currently, I am breaking that thought pattern by working with Collectors to create "Consumer Centric" compositions within their liking. My creativity will be centered and focused on the Collectors decor and style of living.

"Wandering Fantasy" is a wall art composition for a Collector that measures 33" wide and is 48" high. The main topic is the Pink Clematis which spans the entire height of the art. The introduction of the Wandering Jew at the top center is flowing into the main stream of the art.

The Sun Series

Work in 2008 was difficult because of that old full-time job but the starving artist must carry on with life and still survive. Dave expanded his line of art this year by making a new series of art by making the "Sun Series". A lot of artist that make the "Sun", hope to catch a few rays and make someone smile. Dave put the sun series together piece by piece with hand made segments and then acrylic painted the Stainless Steel. The art can readily be hung on the wall or put on a custom stand if requested for table or mantle display. The Series are 12 inches in diameter and can be made custom if requested.

Asian Prince

Being creative in new designs for interior decorating is a passion for Dave Bushell. He composed this piece of art slowly as to give mother nature simple kisses of delight. The combination of Asian Orchid, Western Gardenia, and Ornamental Grass became a great composition of Bushell's favorites. The design is soft yet it releases a sensual tone for decorating in her favorite room or office setting. The art was made in Dec '08 measuring 15"x 16" of Stainless Steel and Acrylic mediums.
