WHAT"S IT ALL ABOUT?
About Me
- Don Gray
- I must like extremes. Having painted many murals that cover the sides of large buildings, now I find myself doing daily paintings that fit in the palm of a hand. Truth is, large or small, I don't care. With a brush in my hand and something to paint on, I'm happy. I've drawn and painted nearly all my life. Earliest inspirations came from the landscape of my childhood in rural Oregon. I lived many years in the Pacific Northwest, later spent five years in Arizona and seven in California. Recently my wife Brenda and I have returned to the Oregon valley where we used to live. I've always felt nurtured and sustained by my relationship with the land and the light of the West. My paintings have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States. I've also taught, painted numerous indoor and outdoor murals and illustrated over twenty books.

Hi Don,
Your body of work is incredible, you can really paint like the masters. Memory 3 and 6 are stunning little masterpieces. Wyeth-like in some ways.
Best regards,
Todd
What a kind comment, Todd--I can feel my head inflating as I write.
"Wyeth-ness" pops up in my work from time-to-time, I guess. He was my great idol when I was a young painter.
I concur with todd on this.. Your landscapes show a strong affection for the subject matter. They're good too!
Thanks, William. I've really enjoyed following your blog--appreciate your watercolors for their technical and emotive power.
This is so comforting to see. I live next door in Nevada, and I've always loved the desert East of me in Utah. Wonderful job with the sunset colors on the mountains. Reminds me just how beautiful the desert can be. :o)
Thanks, Jelaine. I lived in Flagstaff for several years and developed an abiding love for the southwest landscape.
Good luck on your coasters--great idea and well-executed, as usual.
