LOS ANGELES, Calif. - David "Deyo" H. Baldwin, 46, artist and teacher, died Aug. 11, 2002, of complications from AIDS.

He was raised in Waltham, Mass., and Oneonta, N.Y. He graduated from the Loomis School and Bard College, with a B.A. in fine arts. After moving to Los Angeles, he began painting, creating, up until his death, colorful, detailed canvases that reflected themes he returned to again and again - childhood summers by the ocean, scenes of Venice Beach, surfing, old cars - transfigured through the use of symbolic and ancient images.

During the last three years of his life he taught art to gifted, at-risk teenagers at North Hills Prep in North Hills, a job he truly loved. His natural ability to connect and empathize with children made him a beloved teacher and respected colleague. He loved Bob and Ray, the Beatles and Liberace, among many musical loves; old Mercurys; the ocean; his cat Sam; and abandoned buildings of historical interest. His playful sense of humor, mixing warmth with congenial irony, characterized his approach to life. He honored friends and family with hilarious nicknames and was not above dressing up in wig and trench coat for a surprise visit to North Hills Prep after being discharged from the hospital. He won the prestigious Baldwin Family Croquet Tournament five times.

He is survived by his father, David B. Baldwin of Oneonta, N.Y.; brother and sisters Ben Baldwin of Portsmouth, N.H., Anita Baldwin of Los Altos Hills, and Elizabeth Baldwin of Rochester, N.H.; longtime friend Laura Fujita of Los Angeles; six nephews; and numerous aunts and uncles.
