(Canadian, 20th C.) Donald Curley was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he fell in love with his surroundings and the country. As a teenager, he was compelled to read about Canadian history. His heroes in art were C.W. Jefferys and Frances Ann Hopkins. As he and his talents grew, he expanded his historic repertoire to include his other interests, animals and wilderness, along with figures. Donald has been referred to as an "academic artist" because of his wide interest in subjects. He expanded and sharpened his technique and skills as a painter as well as mastering many media including watercolor, oil and gouache, until he became the accomplished artist he is today.    MORE »
