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.

Great skill there Don in mapping cool and warm colours together - exactly what Spring is!
I agree. The reflection of the sky colors and the grass colors on the white horse read like a shot.
Beautiful. I love horses.
When I saw this painting , I said "OH!!" and my heart felt a little twinge. It's beautiful! Dixie
Yes, quite beautiful!
Sheila, Mary, Dixie and Suzanne--thank you all. I'm grateful for your comments and happy you stopped in.
This is just outstanding Don. Thanks for posting it
Thank YOU, Melody!
I love the way you use color in this painting Don.

Todd
WHEW..a lot of good painting in a 6" x 6" board! They have the intimacy of your pillows the day before!
Hi Todd--thanks a lot!
Candy, thanks for visiting. I appreciate your thoughts.
I love the warm and cool colors. This is really beautiful.

Hey, Pablo, glad you came by and sure kind of you to comment. Your watercolors are beautiful.
Wow. Amazing work. I love the subject as well.
Thanks for the visit and thanks for the kind words, Jelaine.

Sincerely, Gina
We're in the NE corner of Oregon, Gina--quite a ways from Gold Hill.
Warm here the last two days, but it snowed last week.
