David Hubbard, Artist, Writer and Musician Copy

DAVID HUBBARD
I'm interested in psychology and sociology. I'm exploring these subjects in my new paintings. I picked up the paint brush again after 30 years. The Philip Guston Show at the National Gallery of Art inspired me.

PAINTER, SCULPTOR, WRITER AND MUSICIAN
Sept. 2024 Just got back from a month long trip to New Zealand.sleep was sporadic, but the trip was grand. Great people. Amazing scenery. I took my Uke-bass and recorded some orignal songs like Road Zombies" Road Zombies by David Hubbard (youtube.com) All the songs are on my You Tube channel. Here's a new song / rap written on our trip: "Song For Aotearoa" DH 9-24
(sea shanty like the rest can be more rock and roll)
"Song For Aotearoa" DH 9-24
(1 sea shanty ...2+ ballad)
1
The ship is tossed by tempests. I scan the wide horizon.
Salvation comes in sight, a bay between green mountains.
As I row toward shore a pod of whales appear.
I raise my head. I must be blessed. The sky is finally clear.
I must be blessed. The sky is clear.
2
There's a land to the South. A place of rain and fire.
Where the Māori praise peace with songs of pure desire.
Twin volcanic islands erupt from Tasmin's Sea
where birds are the Lords of majestic redwood trees.
chorus
The EARTH shakes.
The FIRES wake.
The SUN blazes above.
Share a slice of Pavlova
with someone that you love. Gm break
3
Rivers fall to the sea down luscious mountain sides,
rolling Jade past fern and forest where flightless Kiwi hide.
Europeans from the North named you "The New Land of Zea"
but, Aotearoa is the place to bury me.

The EARTH shakes.
The FIRES wake.
The MOON sinks into the sea
Take my hand, my love
and walk this land with me.
4
We walk on and on and on, past endless rugged mountains,
fields of geysers, boiling hot fountains,
little blue penguins and dramatic tattooed faces,
South Pacific peoples of all different races.

The EARTH shakes.
The FIRES wake.
The MOON sinks into the sea
Take my hand, my love
and walk this land with me.
5
And as my end approaches my thoughts are growing dim.
Songs of younger days are growing old and thin.
I hold my loved ones closer than I ever did before.
Dreams of Aotearoa guide me toward that distant shore.

The EARTH shakes.
The FIRES wake.
The SUN blazes above.
Share a passionate kiss
with someone that you love.

FROM WITHIN

(NEW BOOK)

David Hubbard and Marcie Wolf-Hubbard are currently working on a book of David's short stories and poems and Marcie's encaustic (hot wax) paintings, which have inspired David's writing.

"From Within" (The poem)

Suzanne waited within the space of the window
wondering when her world would spin mad as a hatter in winter wearing only skin
possibilities wriggling off in all directions waiting only for a single sound to free her
Port Colorado spread with ships painted crimson and cream
the royal sea stained brown and gold with scuds of drift weed
from a single horn a note resounds off the cliff behind the town
to break the spell that holds her there at the open window
down, down, taking flight like a wild bird free of bad dreams
THE SHINY SHELL
CHILDREN'S BOOK
The Shiny Shell, a children’s adventure book about a boy and a dolphin on a mission to save the oceans. Starting from the perspective of L. Frank Baum and Rev. Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) The Shiny Shell takes our young adventurer Orion, on a journey “down the rabbit hole.” As his story unfolds your child is encouraged to learn. Knowledge is held up to be more important than the acquisition of wealth. The dire consequences of pollution and global warming are exposed and the perspective of non-human species are explored. Through all of this the values of friendship and family are uplifted. In every good adventure there are antagonists and conflict, but as in any reasonable fable, good triumphs over evil in the end.
Bring your child along on this fast paced adventure and you will be as involved in the story as they are.

Available in print or ebook.
