Church Point, Louisiana
Early Years
David Guyce LeDoux was born in Church Point, Louisiana, in 1926. In 1938, he and his family relocated to Pineville, Louisiana. It was in Pineville that David completed high school and, at just 15 years old, enrolled at Louisiana College. After two years of study, he joined the U.S. Navy, serving for two years in Naval Aviation during World War II. Upon his return to civilian life, he completed his Bachelor of Arts degree at Louisiana College, taking advantage of the G.I. Bill to finance his education. He then spent a year at the University of Chattanooga (now the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga) before pursuing graduate studies at Louisiana State University (LSU). David earned his Master of Arts degree at LSU and subsequently served as an instructor for several years, sharing his knowledge and passion for learning with students.
Murfreesboro, Tennessee
Art Education
In 1956, David relocated to Tennessee, where he began teaching drawing and painting at Middle Tennessee State University. In 1962, while at MTSU, he enrolled in a Studio Ph.D. program at Ohio State University. The following year, in 1963, David traveled to various countries, studying in Britain, France, Spain, Italy, and Switzerland.
A Life in Paint
Professor Emeritus
In 1980, David was awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship at Columbia University. He showcased his work in numerous exhibitions throughout the Southern, Southeastern, and Southwestern regions of the United States. In 1997, the American Academy of Arts and Letters selected his pieces for an exclusive invitation-only exhibit in New York City. After dedicating 38 years to teaching at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), David retired as a Professor of Painting in 1994 and received the title of Professor Emeritus in 2000.
Art Series
Home Gallery
David and his wife, Pat, relocated to Woodbury, Tennessee, in 1987, where he set up a studio in their home. During this time, he developed a body of work that includes four distinct series: the Black Period (1985-1990), the Red Period (1990-1995), the Violet/Purple Period (1995-2000), and the Blue Period (2000-2004). Prior to 1985, David created a diverse range of paintings, from pieces dating back to the 1930s to the large, vibrant works known as the Fox Hollow Paintings from the 1970s.
Currently, there are 300 oil on canvas and acrylic on canvas paintings available for exhibition or purchase, with sizes ranging from 22x32 inches to 66x80 inches. In addition, he has 700 oil on paper paintings, primarily sized at 22x32 inches, also available.

David's Legacy
Even after stepping back from teaching, he continued to produce awe-inspiring paintings in his private studio until 2005, when health challenges brought his painting career to a close. Nevertheless, he channeled his creative energy into writing until his passing in 2010, leaving behind a legacy of artistic brilliance.
