2025 Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting
Invitational Artist David R. Becker
Ingleside, Illinois
“My work is rooted in all things that bring beauty to us on this planet. Plein-air painting allows me to connect directly with the landscape, cityscapes—capturing fleeting moments, and the energy of the outdoors. Back in the studio, I reflect on those experiences, refining ideas and exploring the emotional depth that emerges from memory and observation. Whether in the field or at the easel, I strive to create paintings that express a sense of place, mood, and movement, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the world in my paintings.”
