David Arathoon is a Canadian artist who’s received national success with his colourful and exuberant paintings. Arathoon often travels around Ontario to find beautiful subject matters and landscapes to paint.

A quote from the artist: “My favorite seasons to paint are spring and autumn. In the spring soft colors emerge in the leaves and grasses, and there are blossoms on the trees. In autumn, we get a vast range of colors in the changing leaves, combined with the evergreens, it is spectacular to see and paint.”
