Mini Art Collections of Paintings & Prints
Sometimes there is more than one piece of work with the same or similar title (each is usually classified in a different series). Also, when working on a theme, occasionally the original title has been changed to protect the innocent. AKAs abound.
This is not as confusing as it sounds – after all, this is a visual medium and seeing is believing.
Have a look at Doug’s work, make notes and if you have any questions please feel free to ask us!
If sufficiently interested in a painting, with a view to buying (no pun intended), just make a request on the contact page to be sent an in-situ. photograph and then possibly arrange a “live” viewing if required. Quite a lot of notice will be required to accommodate this, as this will include locating the piece if in storage.
Paintings listed on this website – It should also be noted that this website represents a lifetimes work. Some pieces are no longer in Doug’s possession but we often know or can locate the most recent owners.
The following quotation perfectly sums up Doug’s opinion and feelings about art in general and how he strives to live up to it.
“It is not the subject which matters but the translation of the subject into the abstraction of the surface by means of painting. Therefore I hardly need to abstract things, for each object is unreal enough already, so unreal that I can only make it real by means of painting.“ — Max Beckmann Source: 1930s, On my Painting (1938), pp. 12-13
“Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.”
Hear, hear – Exactly!
