Two at Once...well almost.   This Friday is the opening reception of my show "Lost Pictographs and Petroglyphs" at the Wild Hare Bistro in Bemidji.  I've had multiple shows at this place and they do a great job with welcoming artists.  Times for Friday the 1st of November are from 3-5pm.  Please join me.   The second event coming up is at Ravenrock Gallery also in Bemidji, in which Kathy Gustafson and I will be sharing our Artistic Exploration show for the months of Nov. & Dec.   That opening will be Dec. 6th.
Here are a couple of examples of each my up coming shows.

Crunch time and I've now turned my attention to the "two person" show at Ravenrock for November and December.  I'm very fortunate to be teamed up with Kathy Gustafson, one super Artist who is also a member of Studio 10.   Our theme deals with exploration in which we both decided to try something different.  So, Ol' Donnie Boy has drop his previous painting style and gone with a more traditional technique.  I've chosen "shoreline birds" as my subjects.   Here's a couple of samples for the up coming show.  Our reception will be December 6th.  

Here's a preview of my most recent works for the 2013 November showing in Bemidji at the Wild Hare Bistro.  All will be acrylic paintings and will deal with pictographs and petroglyphs.  Again, a "tip of the hat" to my Grandson Ryan for the whole idea.

No postings for a long as I have been busy this summer of 2013 and the fall will be even busier.   Now, back on track and working.   Starting this Sept. 6th and I'll be joining my art group Studio 10 with a single piece at Bridgid's Cross Pub in Bemidji with our "Birds of a Feather" show.   Here's my work entitled "Sorta Shy".    Opening Reception is on this First Friday Art Walk from 4:30-6:30 ....join me if you can.  Don

I have been given a special opportunity in which I'd like to pass on to all my wonderful supporters of my artwork and writings.  On May 3rd, 2013, I will be making a rare offering of 12 original pen and ink drawings from my first two children's books.  These are all
 "one of kind" images, signed, matted and framed.  The show will feature these images, some new woodcut prints, books, signed prints AND a glimpse of the final Harvey story book: "Christmas Comes to Harvey and His Friends", which is due out this Fall.   This all takes place at the newly remodeled The Cabin Coffee Shop in Bemidji, Mn. on the date stated above from 5 - 7pm opening reception.   Please join me!

Heads up!  The Artists of Studio 10 are co-hosting an opening of "Places Far and Near" along with
Brigid's Pub in Bemidji this Friday - March 1 from 4:30-6:30pm.  Here's one of my new works entitled "Grover's Challenge" that I will be showing.  I might even have a new "barn" piece....imagine that!

The third book of my animal stories is written and in the hands of my editor.   We'll have to see if it joins these two previous and successful publications.  Stay tuned.
