Don's Pallet

Don's Pallet I've always been fascinated by art, in all its forms. You can find art in anything, for me its usually when I am not looking for it. I'm Don.

I have a pretty wet and loose style. I've always been captivated by art in all its forms. To me, art lives in the quiet spaces of everyday life—found in the moments we aren’t intentionally seeking it. That belief guides my creative process. I work in a wet, loose style, blending color on the palette and directly on the surface, allowing spontaneity and the natural behavior of paint to lead the way. The results aren’t always predictable, but that’s part of what I love; each piece becomes a reflection of life’s beautiful uncertainties. My approach leans toward a painterly technique, applying pigment to whatever surface feels most fitting—canvas, wood, or something more unconventional. My paintings are glimpses of moments that have moved me, visual memories of feelings I want to capture and share. Through my work, I hope viewers experience their own interpretations, connections, and emotions. Ultimately, my goal is to create art that feels honest and instinctive. Each painting is a small act of discovery and a reminder that embracing imperfection often leads to the most authentic expression. Inspiration
My inspiration is found all over, life, nature, and our collective human history inspire me when I least expect it. Techniques
I prefer a wet and loose technique. The "Painterly" technique would best describe mine, however I do not limit myself to one technique.

Before you think about color or size, ask a simpler question: how do you want to feel when you walk into the room? Calm? Energized? Grounded?

What feeling are you chasing in your space right now?

"Not Your Mothers Shamrock" is proof that the right work can answer that question before you've even consciously asked it.

"Pharoah" // https://www.donspalette.com/warehouse-originals-limited-editions-standard-products/original_art_products/originals-4

"Pharaoh" presents a striking monochrome depiction of an ancient Egyptian ruler, embodying regal authority and an air of mystique. The sculpture's intricate details, from the headdress to the facial features, reflect a profound respect for historical artistry. Set against a dark background, the figure's commanding presence invites contemplation of its significance. This artwork serves as a compelling addition to any space, fostering a connection to the grandeur of ancient civilizations.

Labor Day always lands a little differently for people who make things for a living.

Today's slower pace is a good reminder of the effort behind every finished work, including "New Glory," today's feature.

Slow it down and take some time to browse my online gallery this weekend.

Today's design reminder: one of the easiest ways to create a cohesive space is by paying attention to tone rather than theme.

A warm wood frame paired with warm wood floors, or artwork with cooler tones in a room that already leans cool, can instantly make a space feel more intentional.

Nothing has to match perfectly. Wood grains don't need to be identical, and neither do the colors throughout your room. Simply deciding whether your space feels predominantly warm or cool is a great place to start.

And don't be afraid to mix in the opposite tone here and there. A little contrast often adds the interest that makes a room feel complete.

Today's Feature: "Crimson Horizon"
