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.

I am really enjoying seeing these larger works on the blog. Love the designs in these two.
The shadow and reflections in this one are especially well done.
Don, Your images are appearing "loud & clear", on my computer. These last two larger images are awesome (I don't like to use that over-used word, but I am speechless.) I am so impressed with you work and look forward to receiving an image from you every day.
Don - love the rock. It is such a powerful and uncompromising image. Congrats!! Judy McLaren
So much weight to that rock..good painting
Hi Frank--many thanks. What you're doing with your "grab bag" palette is amazing!
Susan, thanks for your kind comments and for letting me know you can see the images OK. Apparently I'm the only person in the world who can't see the images on my blog :(
Appreciate your visit, Judy--thanks. Love the figures and portraits you've been posting recently.
David, I'm happy to discover your fine work. Thanks for commenting.
Wow! Stunning, really stunning - the reflections and that light - your talent really shows with this one Don.
Triecia, I so appreciate that.
A beautiful painting. Just like being there without needing to swat mosquitoes.
This is a beautiful striking composition. I love it!
very well done. I can see the pictures as you mentioned in the email that they weren't appearing.
I like your work very much, Don.
Thanks, Onpainting, aka Lisa and/or Bill. Yes, I waded through swarms of bloodthirsty mosquitoes, but I didn't mind...anything for ART.
Thanks for the visit, Jeff, and for the encouraging word. I enjoy your paintings as well as your links to interesting artists.
Hi Mary, thanks for the kind word. Thanks too for letting me know about the images. I'm still stumped on why I can't see the images on my site. I installed a new router last night, but no help.
These are awesome Don, I'm loving these larger pieces. The colors in the water are beautifully painted and really harmonious choices.
Best,
Todd
Hi Todd--I sure thank you for your supportive comments.
I'm speechless. Word's don't work here, I guess that's why we paint. Beautiful work..
Just noticed a comment from my sister on your blog, After reading her's I see we felt the same way, Hi Sue! Images are looking great on my screen too.
Hi Steve--Wow, thank you so much, it means a great deal to me when you say it. And Susan is your sister--small blog world, eh?
