''This page is about the Sri Lankan Artist. For other people named David Paynter, see David Paynter (disambiguation)''
David Shillingford Paynter, RA, OBE (5 March 1900 – 7 June 1975), was an internationally renowned Sri Lankan painter. He was a pioneer creator of a Sri Lankan idiom in what was essentially a Western art form. His most celebrated works are his murals at the Trinity College Chapel in Kandy and the Chapel of the Transfiguration, at S. Thomas' College, Mount Lavinia. The Sri Lanka Philatelic Bureau commemorated Christmas in 1996 with two stamps featuring the murals from the Trinity Chapel.〔http://collect.ceylanka.net/default.htm?Acsas1006〕
==Early life==
David's father, Arthur Stephen Paynter, was born in Bicester in Oxfordshire, where his family owned several breweries. Arthur married Anagi, the daughter of Arnolis Weerasooriyaa, a Sinhalese from the south of Sri Lanka. Both were in the Salvation Army and worked in India and after some years left in order to start the India Christian Mission. Arthur and Anagi moved to Ceylon in 1904, and decided to start a mission in Nuwara Eliya. Thus young David had his primary education at Breeks Memorial School in India, and his secondary education at Trinity College, Kandy.
Apart from the basic guidance he received at Trinity, he had no formal art lessons. Yet David Paynter entered the Royal Academy by winning a five-year scholarship in the open competition with students, many of whom received formal instruction in European art schools.
