About the Artist
Don Vernon has been in love with painting sine
the mid-60s. Having grown up in central Oklahoma, USA, he
gravitated to images of the west, as that was what was most familiar
and still returns to that as subject matter again and again.
However, subject matter is not all that drives his passion.
Painting, and colour, and drawing with colour, and compositions that
evoke a response from the viewer is what he lives for. Entering
competitions for awards are no longer as challenging as pursuing his
own vision. His work hangs in galleries and private collections
worldwide, but the designs, colours and technique exploration drive
him now. Ranging widely from wildlife to portraits to cartoons and
caricatures, he loves them all and continues to do what he loves
best - to paint. |
