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.

Oooh! Gorgeous! You really captured a certain time of winter day and light.
I love your artwork generally but the watercolors are amazing.
Ann-Marie
Thanks, Suzanne.
Hi Ann-Marie, thanks for coming by. I am enjoying reconnecting with watercolor and think the immediacy of the medium lends itself to this daily painting thing.
Wow! Red + White. How dramatic. Beautiful.
Hi Don,
This painting is wonderful! The intensity of the watercolor is just fabulous, and the subject being a barn just makes it that much better for me! Thanks for sharing this one with us.
Silvina--thank you.
I appreciate it, Joanne. Thanks for looking in.
Wonderful rich colour Don, and so atmospheric, the quiet dignity of the barn against the snow. Love it.
Sheila, glad you like this one. I really am enjoying the buildings of Stalybridge through your eyes.
It's great. I really like the way you work with the primary red and white color only.
Quite an inspiration for a beginner like me.
Congrats.
