What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit.  John Updike

Awakening Day


Awakening Day is an early morning sunrise in October.  The area, near where Don used to live, is a combination of old pastures and open space in the foothills southwest of Denver.  It is a favorite of Don's and has served as the subject for a number of paintings.

High Desert

Painted not too far from Taos, New Mexico very near the rim of the Rio Grande Gorge, Don took advantage of the summer afternoon light.  In his own words he says, "The light and the movement of the clouds made the combination too rich to pass up."  The outcome is a painting full of rich colors, evoking a feeling of optimism.

Lavender Moon

The location of Lavender Moon is actually only a few miles from the location of Awakening Day.  Being in the middle of Winter, the heavy and cold atmosphere caused the sky to glow with a pink hue as the moon came up.  The combination of warm hues, particularly the grass and willows, and the cool colors of the sky and snow made the perfect combination.
