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.

Yay!! I LOVE this new series! Terrific!! The Big Apple - that's great. What fun you can have with just the titles of these duos!
Can't wait to see the next one!
Odd Couples! Perfect name for this series!
Thanks, Martha. Yeah, it is fun coming up with strange duos. It is also interesting to me to sort of "watch" my analytical left brain trying to make reasonable connections between unreasonable things.
Interesting perspective! Nice work.
I love these odd parings..wonderful Don.
A fitting title might be - "An apple a day keeps Dr. Watson away" for the Sherlock Holmes aficionados, or perhaps "The game is afoot"? Actually that might better be applied to todays "boot" painting although "A game of Squash" came to mind. Very cool idea and nicely rendered! I wish I had thought of it.
Thanks, LC. I enjoy your work.
Hi Todd. Thanks--appreciate your visit.
Mark, thanks for coming by. Great title ideas. Admittedly, my titles are on the boring, deadpan side. But something in me wants to play it straighter with them. As if "Tomato and Hiking Boot" is as normal as, say, "Wineglass and Cheese Wedge."
Nonetheless, I'm delighted they provoked those thoughts for you--many thanks!
