"Canal Grande, Venizia".
A  53 by 34 cm watercolour. (ref. 1043)

See how Don has captured the atmosphere by emphasising the view into the sun. 
"Our Spinney".
An acrylic painting on primed hardboard 61 by 47 cm. Private collection.

A very small wood in Edington, Somerset. Painted on an easel erected in the spinney. Details are carefully picked out but, at the same time, there is an apparent casualness of the brushwork.

An acrylic painting created in alla-prima mode and also glazed. 16 by 28 cm. Private collection.

A favourite climbing tree for three generations of boys (and girls) in Brinscall. This painting is shown in its frame. Don's son Ryan posed for all three figures.
