Do Not Do Business with David Gatling or David Flores. He is unethical and possibly a con artist. If he contacts you please let me know so I can give the information to the authorities.
I was in a transaction with a verbal and written agreement for some paintings and he refused to send the artwork after getting my check.

This biography from the archives of AskART.com,
A
landscape and genre painter, he became head of the new Department of
Painting and Illustration at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in
Pittsburgh and earned a reputation according to William Gerdts as "probably
Pittsburgh's leading Impressionist artist." He also traveled in
the West, and one of his surviving paintings from that period, a Grand
Canyon landscape, is titled "Grand View, Ariz Canyon."
He was born in Washington DC, and studied with Howard Helmick and in
France for ten years at the Julian Academy and the Ecole des Beaux Arts.
He was much impressed with the painting of Claude Monet and painted
colorful scenes of relaxed figures in dappled, suffused light. He died
in Philadelphia in 1919.
