At age 34, Bass \u2018retired\u2019 to painting. Since then his work has been exhibited in Museums, Colleges and Universities and Corporations all over the United States. Bass\u2019 work includes landscapes, scenery and portraits that reflect his many travels ranging from North Carolina to Guatemala. His work focuses on exotic places, which are clearly expressed through his fluid and energetic style of painting. Painting either on site or from memory, Bass illustrates a lived experience through his work, instead of merely replicating what he sees. Starting with a compositional drawing, his method is \u201calla prima,\u201d working while the paint is still wet, lending toward the expressive nature of his artwork. Bass uses high-keyed colors, lively brush strokes and a structured composition in his work. Bass, a nationally recognized artist, has earned numerous honors and awards for his artwork. He has released a biography, David Loren Bass: Watercolor and Oil Paintings From Around the World, which include many images of his paintings[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-662c0505e3198\" data-id=\"662c0505e3198\" data-height=\"10\" data-height-mobile=\"10\" data-height-tab=\"10\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\" data-type=\"the7_shortcodes-inline-css\">#default-btn-50623a3f689e2cd33f385ad64a5696f4.ico-right-side > i {\n  margin-right: 0px;\n  margin-left: 8px;\n}\n#default-btn-50623a3f689e2cd33f385ad64a5696f4 > i {\n  margin-right: 8px;\n}\n<\/style><a href=\"https:\/\/weaverfoundation.com\/weaver-uncg-art-collection\/\" class=\"default-btn-shortcode dt-btn dt-btn-s link-hover-off btn-inline-left \" id=\"default-btn-50623a3f689e2cd33f385ad64a5696f4\"><span>Art Collection Home<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-662c0505e337a\" data-id=\"662c0505e337a\" data-height=\"30\" data-height-mobile=\"30\" data-height-tab=\"30\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[vc_single_image image=&#8221;2791&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text] Sandbar on The Charma, 1998 Oil on Canvas [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Before returning to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro to earn his MFA in painting in 1975, David Loren Bass taught art, English and social studies in Morocco.
