Don Scott Macdonald, SENTINELS, Oil on Canvas, 60.00 X 36.00 in, $8,650.00, Orange, landscape, staff

Don Scott Macdonald hopes to convey something about who we are and what we feel — a balance of mystery and beauty, darkness and hope. He composes his paintings from an accumulation of observations and dreams. Rather than recreating details of a static landscape on canvas, Macdonald attempts to distill its essence, believing that simplicity is elegant and powerful in our increasingly complex and distractive world. He aims to create spaciousness that extends beyond the limits of the canvas.
