Biography

Don has been painting and drawing since he was in high school two-thirds of a century ago. He has had no post high school art training, but his high school art teacher, the late Allen Evry  of Wheaton High School, Maryland, provided the deepest inspiration for a lifetime of devotion to painting, drawing and photography. Don has worked in pastels, oil crayons, water color and has begun using his digital tablet as a cheap, clean medium. Don is excited by the beauty in ordinary things, the way the light falls on objects, and the hidden colors that have to be contemplated to be seen.

Pagan Dream of Squirrels

After decades
collecting images of eagles,
I finally learn
my spirit guide
is a tree squirrel.
In all those dreams
I took long leaps, but was
never able to fly.
All those pathways through the air
were filled with wood,
the slow, melted glass
oozing of the trees.
I know the compromise,
never a bird,
but not quite earthbound.
