David Newens

David Newens is a traditional oil painter, currently concentrating on commissioned portraits.

David has exhibited widely, including: 8 Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions, 16 Royal Society of Portrait Painters Exhibitions, Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the New English Art Club. Portrait commissions have included cabinet ministers, leaders of business and academia, members of the House of Lords,etc.
