Don Weller
“My plan was to be a cowboy, but by the time I was
born the open range was all chopped up by barbed wire”, says Don
Weller. Don drew horses as a kid and rodeoed up through college. His
career in Los Angeles included
doing graphic design and illustration, which included posters for The
Hollywood Bowl, covers for Time and TV Guide, and stamps for the U.S.
Post Office. He has taught at numerous Colleges and Universities in California,
Arizona, Utah, Texas, and Washington state. More »

Mr. Weller paints images of today’s west as
he knows it. He paints cowboy friends and their adventures together.
He wants
his paintings to be realistic
enough that the horses, people and scenes are recognizable; the details correct,
and tell a true story.
Don uses watercolor because he feels comfortable with
it. His paintings are carefully planned in advance, with a result that
feels fresh and direct. Paintings generated
by Don are started with the most difficult parts, faces, hats, and horses heads.
He is concerned with the subject and sense of story, but he also cares about
interesting shapes, texture, pattern, and the abstract quality of the composition.
Don conveys his goal, “ I want the viewer to sense the hand of the artist
in the brush work, the colors blossoming into one another, and the details left
out”.
