Don Hamilton, Painter. Take2's newest addition to The LIST

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.

24x30 inches (canvas size)
$2700 framed


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.

12"x16" (canvas size)
$875 framed

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.



20”x24” (canvas size)

$1800 framed

Welcome to Take2 modern.repurposed.design



What is Take2?

Well let us set the story straight.
Take2 was officially created in the spring of 2012, but our workshop, affectionally known as the lair, was not set in motion until summer.

Tired of seeing tiny boutiques give way to big box names we thought we'd put our stylish heads together, break out the sewing machines & sanders and create one of kind items.





Take2's first goal?  Create singular premium designs with a split personality. How could that be possibly done? Well ....

. One of us is a brash yankee and the other is full of southern charm.

. The mix of vintage, modern, and repurposed fabrics gets our blood pumping. (Sad, we know.)

. We appreciate good design.  Snobs we are not to a particular decade.

. We know two heads are always better than one.


Take2's second goal?  Celebrate those in our community who 'do it well' by sharing their story and work.  We limit our community to the world so we can bring you the best of the best.  It could be another artist, an amazing teacher, or a fantastic chef. If you know of someone email us!

So, how does one learn about celebrated artists and get first dibs on a one-of-a-kind creations?  Simply subscribe to our mailing list and about twice a month we will send you campaign of our newest creations. After that all items will be available to the public.
