 Every artist is inspired by and through their subject matter. The satisfaction of seeing an image develop from a glob of paint is impossible to describe. For more than five decades I have been able to travel to many parts of the world for business and family vacations. My travels have taken me to Europe, eastern Asia, Hawaii, Italy, Greece, Egypt, Turkey, Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia and to the four corners of the this great country. The best way to show my viewers, and clients the beauty of all these places is by painting the Scenes of the World. I hope you enjoy my work, or better yet, purchase an original or print for your collection.  Commissions are available. Don would like an opportunity to recreate your family home, farm or your retirement home or cabin. These pictures are great items to pass on to your children, and other relatives. They also make great gifts for birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas. These are NEVER-to-be-forgotten gifts that will bring joy and beauty to your home on a daily basis. The cost of a commissioned painting depends on size and complexity of the composition. One third of the total cost is required as a down payment.

 Don is a part of a family and extended family of artists. He started painting in the late '70's while a resident of Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was transferred to Texas and occupational responsibilities were such that his personal interest had to be set aside until he retired. After spending forty years with one company, he was then able to pursue his passion for painting full time. Having been self-taught for the prior period, he felt a need to develop better techniques and skills. He started enrolling in workshops, and taking private lessons from Jerry Yarnell. He also had consultations with his cousin, renown artist Charles Rhinehart, and his wife Lavetta. Charles has been painting for more than sixty years. These individuals were instrumental in creating his current style of painting landscapes and still life. The gallery used to market Don's paintings closed, and that created a need to make new plans for marketing his paintings. As a result he now attends art shows in various communities including Bella Vista, Arkansas; Longview, Fredericksburg, Keller, Grapevine, and Southlake, Texas; plus St. Charles and Springfield, Missouri. This has brought about great results and the ability to meet people, and make new friends. Don is a member of the Richardson Civic Art Society. He also works with the Volunteers in Mission, Homes for Habitat and Amigo Days through the First United Methodist Church of Richardson.  Due to the increasing value of your purchase, most people prefer an original painting. In some instances however, a print of the original is appropriate to reduce cost, or to give as a gift. Atrium Art offers high quality prints on canvas (giclées) or matted prints on paper. They can be framed (at an additional cost) or unframed, and are available in various sizes. These prints start with the highest quality photography, (a transparency is needed for reproduction). The original and transparency are taken to a professional printer for matching the colors of the original, and printing. Prints are usually made in standard sizes to help the customer avoid the additional cost of custom framing. Prices vary on prints by size, and type of material, and are numbered to add value to your purchase. Original art pieces are most often acrylic, but oil, watercolor, and mixed media (acrylic and watercolor) are also used depending on the subject of the painting. Subject matter is varied and offers many opportunities to bring a painting to your home or office that adds beauty and class to any décor.
