Don Hamilton

Artwork submitted for bid 
at our September 6,2009 auction:

"Night Shadows"
12"x16", Oil
Gallery Price: $875

A Colorado native, Don has traveled extensively throughout the west, painting and sharing his vision. “If someone can view my work and sense the cold, smell the dampness or feel the sun beating down I have been successful.”
From as early age Don loved to draw. He spent hours watching his grandfather, a master stone cutter, at work.   Later he realized the important lessons he was learning about design and layout.
Don studied privately for 4 years with Joe Brand, a respected wildlife artist and instructor at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design.  During this time he focused exclusively on wildlife, learning structure, anatomy and painting fundamentals.  Later Don branched out and, most importantly, began painting outside “en plein air. “  Standing face to face with the subject, challenged by the changing light and unpredictable weather continue to motivate Don to venture out in all types of weather.
