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.

Lemme guess...
Usually the best restaurant in town is your own kitchen ;)
Love the pillow paintings.
Don,
You have such a beautiful way of capturing the light in your work...I just love it and I'm adding you to my fav. artists links because your work is a real inspiration.
And another lucky collector beat me to it :(
Love these so much Don.
the light and texture is perfect. nice job.
Mary, the kitchen is far from the best restaurant when I'm the chef, but I can make a pretty mean roast beef sandwich. Thanks for the nice words.
Thanks for your comments and for the link, Jean. I enjoy your work and have linked you as well.
Triecia...sorry :( I'm glad you liked it though. Not sure if I'll do more, but I'd like to. That's kind of the interesting thing about daily painting; it really becomes a pretty spontaneous decision of "What shall I paint today?"
Hi Bruce--thanks a lot!
Don, light, color, texture are spot on. Just love "Maybe spring soon", it is in my studio where I see it everyday, Thanks
Thanks a lot, Steve. I'm glad you're enjoying the painting.
