David Butler Art

Memphis watercolor artist. Growing up in the Memphis area, The Bluff City is home. Teaching since 2001, I strive to create and learn something new.

It is the relationship with this city that has impacted my work in such an iconic way. It is only appropriate for the city founded on the river and built on cotton to be captured by water on cotton fibers, showing the rich textures through bold colors. Capturing Memphis’ architectural and cultural landscape with vibrant colors reflects both the city’s rich history and the artist’s disposition. Fo

23 years ago, one of my brothers, was paralyzed in a mountain bike accident. Thanks to performing miracles, john will be able to walk. We need to raise some money to make this happen. I’m selling prints and an original to help the team out. 100% of the sales goes to JPs fundraising site igotlegs.org/teamjohn
John and I grew up going to Hueys most weekends to listen to live music and shoot toothpicks into the ceiling. JP and Hueys will always be connected for me.
There are 8x10s prints and the original 16x20 Hueys painting. 8X10” Prints are $50, 11x14 print of JP is $100 the Hueys original is $600. DM if your interested in the prints or donate directly to his website. Let’s get JP on his feet.

I’ve been excited about this piece for a long time now. I wanted to do something that was both quirky and legendary. In a setting fit for a River town, “Memphis Royalty” has our Kings, Princes, Hustlers and Heroes... it even has Shaft. They called his place home and made Memphis better. I don’t think I would be able to sit at this table as they would have taken every Penny I had. Memphis Royalty is 20”x24” will debut at Art at ECS this Saturday at 7:00pm.
Hope to see you there
