Don Hatfield

Don Hatfield is one of the most innovative impressionists of our time. His style of painting softly blends figures of realism with the gentle touch of classic impressionism. Hatfield strives to create paintings that bond themselves to the viewer. In the vein of romantic impressionism, he shows the viewer that beauty can arise from one stirring moment: a family reunion, a young boy searching for shells on the beach, or the warmth of the sun touching a mother and her child.

His paintings carry light and form to a new and extremely personal degree. Hatfield says he is preoccupied with the effect of light on form. "On the beach," Hatfield says, "the viewer is given enough space to have his own reaction."

This unique impressionistic style has brought him great acclaim in the art world, as well as a solid artistic identity of his own. Don's paintings hang in many important private and corporate collections throughout the country.
