Excerpt from "A visit to the studio of painter David Swanson"

"David Swanson had already established himself as a contemporary realist painter when he decided to go back to school to get his Bachelor of Fine Arts. He wanted to paint in a more figurative direction, and he felt that the formal discipline offered by a degree program would strengthen his preparation and foundation for exploring new directions. On a recent visit to David’s studio, we talked about the new work, art in general, and the things that brought him to Montana, and finally to Livingston, to stay."
