Gentle Cove 2005

This proved to be a very exciting time with the Art tutors buying David's work and the Compendium Gallery in Birmingham showing his work and submitting it in 1967 to an exhibition in London arranged by the Ministry of Works.
From 1967 to 1995, David worked as a teacher first in Plymouth and then, from 1970, at St. Michael's School in Helston. In 1995 he left teaching to devote all of his time to his painting.

Summer Beach 2005

During the Sixties David's work was largely abstract, featuring many experiments in Painting and Printmaking. His painting subsequently passed through a number of figurative stages up to the present decade which has seen the development of his semi-abstracted style.

Sunset Cliffs 2005

Many enthusiasts who are now followers of Hosking's painting are excited and inspired by his use of rich colour in the fragmented atmospheric scenes which are explored in his paintings.
