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.

Ooooh... very nice.
And the ravens don't even know they're in an iconic setting--just having fun. Loved to watch hawks riding the thermals from Mt. Harris lookout. --Anne Thrower
A small package but what a grand vista.
Thanks, Suzanne!
Having fun--exactly! I watched this pair for quite awhile. They would hang in the air, buffeted by the updrafts, seemingly for the sheer joy of it.
Hi Sherry--thanks so much.
I like your take on wide open spaces.
Thanks for coming by, Austin.
Wow, Don! So beautiful... a grand painting.
Diana--so kind of you to say--thanks!
This one is really nice Don. The Grand Canyon in a tiny format is what I like about it. Really like how the dark birds really give you the sense of depth.
Thanks, Frank. When you think about it, what difference is it whether a painting of the Grand Canyon is 6 inches wide or 60 feet? They are still just "souvenirs" compared to experiencing that incredible place.
