Don Herron

Artist – Wilsonville, Oregon

You will find me in my studio most days. I might be oil painting, or drawing with charcoal, graphite, ink or colored pencil. I do not limit myself to one medium, style or subject, although I would say that my primary style is as a Realist. My inspiration might come from something that I have observed in real life, from a picture, commissioned work, or just doing a piece for a gift. I tend to be drawn to colorful images from nature such as flowers and birds. I enjoy painting and drawing people and older buildings with striking characteristics.
