Doug has traveled and painted from the east to the west coast in the United States. He spent a year in Sicily, and has made numerous trips to France, Italy, Spain and Mexico. His work has been featured in many National shows and is in numerous private and corporate collections.
“The thrill of painting is creating something that has meaning to others, and enriches their lives. As a Colorist and Impressionist, my intent is to create works with harmonious color and to simplify my subject matter to its fundamental and poetic form. A Plein-air enthusiast, I paint on location whenever possible, inspired by a direct attachment with nature.”
“People, Places & Things” will continue through Saturday, March 5. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday, 10-5:00.
