Walter Davis (botanist)

Walter Davis (14 September 1847 – 18 November 1930) was an Englishplant collector, who collected in South America for James Veitch & Sons of Chelsea, London.

Career

Early life

Davis was born at Sarson Street, now part of Amport, near Andover, Hampshire. According to Hortus Veitchii, he "inherited from his father a taste for Natural History and outdoor pursuits, which later took the form of a love of gardening". At 12 years old, he left school and started work in the gardens of the Marquess of Winchester at Amport House; the house had been rebuilt in 1857, and the gardens were being re-modelled. He then moved to Wilton Park Gardens, at Beaconsfield where he stayed for four years, rising to the rank of departmental foreman.

His travels then took him to work for Mr. C. Ryder at Slade, Kent followed by a spell at the gardens of Mr. T. W. Evans at Allestree Hall, Derby, before, in 1870, he joined James Veitch & Sons at Chelsea, London.

James Veitch & Sons

At Chelsea, he worked under John Dominy in the "New Plant Department" and eventually became foreman in charge of the Nepenthes and fine foliage plants. In 1873, following the departures of George Downton and A. R. Endres, Harry Veitch was looking for a plant collector to travel to South America to locate and collect a quantity of the orchid, Masdevallia veitchiana, which had been introduced to England in 1867, following its discovery by Richard Pearce but was still scarce. Veitch selected Davis, and on 2 August 1873 he departed for South America.

    Walter Francis "Walt" Davis (born January 5, 1931) is an Olympic gold medalist in the high jump, and later basketball player, from the United States. He was born in Beaumont, Texas.

    Despite contracting polio at age nine and being unable to walk for three years, Davis had a standout athletic career at Texas A&M University and later won Olympic gold in the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, Finland, with a leap of 2.04 metres (6 ft 8 14 in).

    The Philadelphia Warriors selected the 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m) Davis in the second round of the 1952 NBA Draft. He spent five seasons with the Warriors and St. Louis Hawks, averaging 4.8 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.

  • Walter Davis (triple jumper)

    Walter L. Davis (born July 2, 1979) is an African American athlete competing in the triple jump and occasionally in the long jump. He was born in Lafayette, Louisiana

    Davis won the 2005 World Outdoor and 2006 World Indoor Championships.

    However, his greatest claim to fame may have occurred in the 2004 Olympic Trials, where in the later rounds of the final he put in an extraordinary jump, during the landing phase of which he lost control, with his foot hitting the sand a significant distance behind his rump, which is the usual area of the body which lands first in the sand. The jump had to be measured from first body contact with the sand, the foot, which was an official 17.63m. The distance of the jump to where his rump landed in the sand was at least 18 m from video analysis.

    Davis was a member of the Louisiana State University track and field team.

    In the period from July 2012 to 2013, he missed three mandatory drug tests. This resulted in a one-year ban from the sport.

Meanwhile, Dr. Livingston Presume (Director Davis) is also searching for the formula and thinks Wadd has it or knows where it is. Presume kidnaps Wadd and subjects him to a unique torture in order to get into his memory and find out where the formula is hidden. Kitty has another idea. The film also features Rene Bond, Sandi Carey, Sandy Dempsey and Bob Chinn who's billed as Hercules Fong.

He studied first with Faith Helen Foust at Eastfield Community College then with Bud Biggs. He later attended workshops with Doug Walton, Louise Cadillac, Carole Barnes, Frank Webb, Mark Mehaffey, Richard Stephens, and noted bird artist John P. O’Neil. Davis has taught watercolor, figure drawing, and plein air sketching at Eastfield Community College, Amarillo College, Panhandle Art Center, San Angelo Museum of Art, and in his studio in Commerce. He has conducted demonstrations and workshops in Amarillo, Brownsville, Dallas, San Angelo and nine other Texas cities. His work is carried by the Davis and Blevins Gallery in St. Jo, Texas, and his paintings hang in private collections in Washington State, Montana, Florida, Colorado, New Mexico, and cities throughout Texas. His work has been accepted into exhibitions of the American Watercolor Society, Southwestern Watercolor Society, Texas Watercolor Society, Richardson Civic Art Society, Greenville Art League, and Western Federation of Watercolor Societies. His painting, Katy-did, Katy-didn't, won the Margery Soroka Memorial Award in the 2013 American Watercolor Society competition in New York and was included in the Society’s traveling show. Two other insect portraits won awards in 2014; one in the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies in Phoenix, Arizona, and the other in the Southwestern Watercolor Society show in Dallas. With the acceptance of the painting Make My Day in the 2015 annual exhibition of the American Watercolor Society, Davis became a signature member of that prestigious organization. Exhibitions of his work have been held at Eastfield Community College Gallery (Dallas, 1986), Bath House Cultural Center (Dallas, 1992), Panhandle Art Center (Amarillo, 2010), Old Jail Art Museum (Mount Vernon, 2010), Wine Seller (Salado, 2010), Brownsville Heritage Complex (2010), Museum of Nature and Science (Dallas, 2010), San Angelo Museum of Art (2011), “A” Space Gallery (Commerce, 2013), and the Plaza Art Gallery (Paris, Texas, 2014). Davis created the dust jacket art and sixteen pencil drawings for the book Exploring the Edges of Texas, (2010) and cover art for the book by Fred Tarpley entitled Wood Eternal. He was curator of exhibits for the Dallas Museum of Natural History for fifteen years, a job that required close observation of wild places and the plants and animals that inhabit them. That experience has given Davis a unique point of view from which to interpret nature in watercolor. ARTIST’S STATEMENT I believe that pigment, dissolved in water, and applied to paper produces more luminous color than any other medium. Watercolor and acrylic are mercurial however-sometimes difficult, always full of surprises. I constantly weigh the importance of original intent against unexpected opportunities. For me, painting in watercolor and acrylic is a series of negotiations with the medium often involving painful decisions, trade offs, and sacrifices. The ever-present risk of failure lends excitement to the process and makes success especially sweet. I am inspired by the beauty nature produces when left to express itself according to its own needs and potentialities. Painting allows me to enter into that world and experience it in a more personal and intimate way. Hopefully, the resulting painting captures the essence of a creature or a place and allows the viewer to experience that essence more deeply as well. The natural world is composed of essential elements (rocks, soil, water, plants, animals) playing their appointed roles according to fundamental principles. A work of art is composed of essential elements as well (line, shape, value, color, texture) obeying a different but no less fundamental set of principles. The challenge for the artist is to choreograph a delicate dance between art and nature coaxing the fundamental truth of one to illuminate the fundamental truth of the other.

    Walter Davis (botanist)

    Walter Davis (14 September 1847 – 18 November 1930) was an Englishplant collector, who collected in South America for James Veitch & Sons of Chelsea, London.

    Career

    Early life

    Davis was born at Sarson Street, now part of Amport, near Andover, Hampshire. According to Hortus Veitchii, he "inherited from his father a taste for Natural History and outdoor pursuits, which later took the form of a love of gardening". At 12 years old, he left school and started work in the gardens of the Marquess of Winchester at Amport House; the house had been rebuilt in 1857, and the gardens were being re-modelled. He then moved to Wilton Park Gardens, at Beaconsfield where he stayed for four years, rising to the rank of departmental foreman.

    His travels then took him to work for Mr. C. Ryder at Slade, Kent followed by a spell at the gardens of Mr. T. W. Evans at Allestree Hall, Derby, before, in 1870, he joined James Veitch & Sons at Chelsea, London.

    James Veitch & Sons

    At Chelsea, he worked under John Dominy in the "New Plant Department" and eventually became foreman in charge of the Nepenthes and fine foliage plants. In 1873, following the departures of George Downton and A. R. Endres, Harry Veitch was looking for a plant collector to travel to South America to locate and collect a quantity of the orchid, Masdevallia veitchiana, which had been introduced to England in 1867, following its discovery by Richard Pearce but was still scarce. Veitch selected Davis, and on 2 August 1873 he departed for South America.
