Welcome to the web site of the artist David Byars.

I have been painting on and off for over 25 years. I have mainly painted lanscapes and close up studies I paint in acrylic or water colors. I like painting the landscape of West Yorkshire: its old industrial towns with their mills and derelict buildings,and the rugged countryside of moors and woodlands.

In 2020 I switched to painting in the Abstract Expressionist style in order to express myself more freely.
