Original Woodcarvings:

These original "pictures-in-wood" are created and influenced by events that have occurred during the life of the artist. The landscape, people and wildlife of Colorado have inspired Don to immortalize his favorite wildlife and western scenes in relief woodcarvings. Each carving has a story behind it...just ask! Don is well known for his adventurous stories.

Every Original wood carving is either finished naturally, with a clear wood sealer, covered with hardwood floor wax, or is finished with stains and/or paints. Each carving inspires the artist to finish it how "it will look best". The carving is then framed with either a custom frame or a quality, standard oak frame. Click here to see samples.

"Carved-Paintings" is a phrase coined by Don for his detailed woodcarvings that he chooses to finish with an equal amount of detailed painting. His carved-paintings would make beautiful paintings, without the exhaustive wood carving, but then they would not be a truly 3-dimensional work-of-art, which is Don's vision and passion.
