Tomb on Kingfishers
by David Tomb
One of the San Francisco Bay area's best painters, David Tomb showcases his work at surfbirds. This work is inspired from birding trips to Mexico: Chihuahua, San Blas, Jalisco, El Triunfo (Chiapas) and research from the California Academy of Sciences, University of California, Berkeley, and the Los Angeles Natural History Museum.
David combines experience in the field with research of bird specimens at the California Academy of Sciences and the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at UC Berkeley. His final masterful renderings of the birds are life size and depict the birds in their natural habitat. As an avid birder, Tomb has been lucky enough to have his nerves rattled by the freaky chorus of Chachalacas in the thorny scrub and to have glimpsed the jewel-like Elegant Trogon during July monsoons. David received his BFA from California State University Long Beach and has shown nationally and internationally.
