Cook says, “I believe in life-long learning. I enjoy teaching art, as well as producing it.

David Paul Cook paints in watercolor and enjoys producing art using other media, including oils, oil pastels, and graphite pencil. He is an avid outdoor painter, and most of his watercolors are of Central Arkansas landscapes, painted on the spot. Scenes along the Arkansas River, at Pinnacle Mountain State Park, and in the Arkansas Delta are among his favorite inspirations.
