David has been creating art since first grade. He entered a contest were the winner got to paint a store window. So at the ripe old age of six, he won the contest and painted a store window front. Impressive. As a senior in high school he took a pottery class. He failed miserably at throwing pots, but the teacher gave him some sculpting clay and encouraged him to try that. He learned quickly that he had a talent for sculpture. In 1977 he entered his first piece in the state fair. The sculpture was mistakenly placed in the pro category. That didn’t matter, he won first place anyway.
David considers his greatest achievement, the fact that he has been able to be a full time artist since 1981. He is represented by several galleries, and has won numerous awards for his work.
This is a picture of a two recent sculptures that are being sold as a set.
We have seen David’s work in galleries, and it is impressive. Great attention to detail, textures, and historically correct.

Very nice article on David Lemon. He is a great cyber friend, a true gentleman and his “awesomeness” with sculpting and videoing it all is such a treat.
