DONALD J WATERS Art by Donald J Waters "Turmoil" by Donald J Waters - Acrylic on Belgian linen 120cm x 90cm ALL of Donald J Waters originals are also available in giclee ltd prints - please call us Donald is a man who is passionate about his art. He sees it as an adventure that must be experienced not only by the artist -but also by the viewer. When speaking with him, you cannot help but be engulfed by his presence. He sees the world from a spiritual, beautiful and somewhat naive perspective. Listening to Don, you are plunged into the vibrant and colourful world that he endeavors to create on canvas. Amongst his many personal ideals there has always been a sense of movement and colour, and, his latest series with the elongated figures in childlike situations has emphasized this. He draws from his vast experiences both on the coast and inland Australia to bring his paintings to life with a dash of humour and excitement. To Don art must always remain an adventure; he assimilates this to the emotion of driving into a new land and looking down into a valley he has never been before. Living in a rain forest thus surrounded by the colour and movement of nature, Don’s artworks are a reflection of his environment…the lush green of fernery, the flicker of a colouful lorikeet from the corner of your eye, or the sun as it filters through the leaves. Don has crossed many milestones and achieved success of which he is proud. Don’s international career is now gaining momentum - having had one-man exhibitions in both England and New Zealand. He has paintings included in Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s II Art Collection and during the Queen’s stay at CHOGM he was asked to design paintings to decorate the dignitary reception and accommodation areas. Don has been invited to present motivational speeches and after dinner talks by the likes of MLC and was compare of the Queensland Builders Designs Awards for 2003.
