Biography
David was born in Boston, Nov. 19, 1931, to Esther (Jones) and Willis Clough. David grew up in Newton Center, Mass., and attended local schools, then Tabor Academy. He was active in sports and most proud to be part of the Tabor Boy crew which led to a life-long love of sailing.
He continued his education at Brown University where his extracurricular activities prompted the dean to advise him "to take a year off to think seriously about putting his grades first." Instead, David joined the Air Force during the Korean War, spending four years at Loring Air Force Base, Presque Isle, as an air traffic controller for fighter squadrons on the base. After his military service, he returned to Brown, completing his degree in Geology. He then began a sales and marketing career with the DuPont Co. in Wilmington, Del. Within a few years, he transitioned to the hospitality industry, resort hotels and cruise lines. He was marketing director for Holiday Inn resorts in the Caribbean and later became an international sales manager for Holiday Inn in New York City. At the age of 40, David had what he called a midlife crisis. His life took on an entirely new direction and meaning. This would be the catalyst that helped launch his move into artistic expression. He took up watercolor painting as a hobby.
An opportunity arose to move to Maine. For 10 years, David worked in management of the Prince of Fundy ferry line, concentrating on sales and advertising. He then realized he could have a career as an artist. David was known for his vibrant, colorful work depicting Maine, Boston, and Caribbean scenes. His images of The Old Port, Town Landing Market, sailboats, and the coastline are beloved by many. His work has been viewed in galleries, sold privately and featured in art shows and festivals.
David Clough was a watercolorist who seemed to be at the right place at the right time in life.
His work shows it.
He painted in the true American spirit of expression, free, lyrical, and spontaneous.
This original lithograph is a beautiful representation of his work as an artist. It is full of light, shadow, depth, and movement. See less
