Don Stone Watercolor - Hunter in Snowy Field (1970s)
Est: $600 - $900
Don Stone (American, 1929-2015). Hunter in Snowy Field. Watercolor, ca. 1970s CE. Signed at lower left. A winter hillside opens before the viewer, hushed beneath fresh snow, as a lone figure in a red plaid jacket stands at the edge of a frozen field. In this watercolor from the 1970s, Don Stone captures the quiet drama of a familiar New England landscape, using transparent washes and crisp, drybrush marks to evoke shifting light, brittle branches, and the subtle warmth of earth showing through the snow. Stone's lifelong sensitivity to atmosphere shapes every inch of the scene: the muted sky dissolves into distant hills, the bare trees rise like ink strokes against the cold air, and the figure's stance draws the eye into the broad, open space beyond. His training as a plein-air painter is evident in the immediacy of the brushwork and the confident handling of light, which turns an ordinary winter moment into something contemplative and expansive. Size: 15" W x 11" H (38.1 cm x 27.9 cm) About the artist: Don Stone emerged as one of the leading modern impressionist painters of his generation, celebrated for a mastery of light that transformed harbors, headlands, and working shores into radiant studies of atmosphere. He often remarked that the subject itself was secondary to the light that animated it, a philosophy that shaped a career spanning more than six decades and earned him a devoted audience of collectors and fellow painters. Born and raised in Gloucester, Massachusetts, Stone discovered painting early and received four years of formal art training at Gloucester High School. He continued his studies at the Vesper George School of Art in Boston, later returning to its faculty as an instructor. His most formative mentorship came through private study with Paul Strisik, N.A., who introduced him to the discipline and joy of plein-air painting. Stone's early experiences among Gloucester's fishing community left a deep impression, and those memories resurfaced throughout his mature work, particularly during his long association with Monhegan Island, Maine. Stone's artistic achievements earned wide recognition. He was elected to full membership in the National Academy of Design, the American Watercolor Society (Dolphin Fellow), the American Society of Marine Artists (Fellow), the Salmagundi Club (Honorary Member), and the New England Watercolor Society (Lifetime Honorary Member). He was also an active member of the Guild of Boston Artists, Allied Artists of America, the Hudson Valley Art Association, the Rockport Art Association (Lifetime Member), and the North Shore Art Association, among many regional groups with whom he exhibited for years. His paintings were shown in numerous public museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Museum of Mobile, Alabama, and the Canton Art Institute in Ohio. Over the course of his career, Stone received many honors, among them two Greenshields Foundation Grants and top prizes in juried exhibitions at both the Rockport Art Association and the North Shore Art Association. Throughout his life, Don Stone remained committed to depicting the world as it appeared in a particular moment of illumination, believing that light itself was the true subject of every canvas. His work continues to stand as a testament to that enduring vision. Item # 199434

Don Stone Watercolor Painting, 2 Figures in Snowy Field
Est: $500 - $750
Don Stone (American, 1929-2015). Figures in a Snowy Field. Watercolor, ca. 1970s CE. A winter field becomes a quiet stage in this 1970s watercolor by Don Stone, its pale expanse interrupted only by two small figures making their way across the snow. Stone's practiced eye for atmosphere animates the scene: slate clouds press low over the horizon, while the earth below breaks into a tapestry of ochre grasses, icy washes, and windswept marks that suggest the textured churn of frozen ground. The artist's long devotion to painting directly from experience is unmistakable here. His brush captures the kind of fleeting winter light he so often sought outdoors, where shifting weather could turn a simple hillside into a meditation on tone and temperature. The figures - humble, bundled, purposeful - give the landscape both scale and story, underscoring Stone's belief that ordinary encounters with the land could offer their own quiet revelations. Size: 15" W x 11" H (38.1 cm x 27.9 cm) Stone's command of watercolor is on full display: drybrush mingles with delicate wet passages, crisp scratches cut through warm pigments, and the composition breathes with a sense of immediacy that reflects his lifelong commitment to plein-air practice. The result is a scene at once familiar and contemplative, inviting the viewer to step into a winter day distilled through the hand of an artist who spent his life honoring the subtle drama of lived experience. About the artist: Don Stone emerged as one of the leading modern impressionist painters of his generation, celebrated for a mastery of light that transformed harbors, headlands, and working shores into radiant studies of atmosphere.

Don Stone Distant Foot Fall Bear Bronze Sculpture
Est: -
13L x 12W x 17H. In good condition with wear commensurate with age. A commanding bronze sculpture capturing a bear poised upright in a moment of alert stillness, embodying both strength and quiet awareness. The figure rises with naturalistic authority, its muscular form rendered with careful attention to anatomy and texture, from the dense, flowing fur along the shoulders to the subtle tension in the forelimbs. One paw rests lightly against a weathered branch, introducing a sense of narrative interaction with the surrounding terrain. Beneath, a richly detailed ground of scattered stones and rugged elements enhances the sense of wilderness, all anchored by an organic, contoured base. The surface patina presents warm tonal variation that accentuates the sculptural depth and lifelike presence of the subject. The composition conveys a striking balance between motion and stillness, as though the animal has paused mid-step, attentive to distant movement. The base bears the title "Distant Footfalls," reinforcing the quiet tension and heightened awareness suggested by the pose. This example is identified as a limited edition, noted as 1/20. Don Stone (American, b. 1943) is a wildlife sculptor celebrated for his highly detailed and anatomically accurate bronze works. Born in Monterey Park, California, he pursued a varied early career before dedicating himself fully to sculpture, drawing inspiration from the landscapes and wildlife of the American West, particularly Montana. His work reflects a deep understanding of animal behavior and form, emphasizing realism, movement, and presence. Stone’s sculptures have been exhibited in respected shows and galleries, and he is associated with organizations such as Ducks Unlimited and Safari Club International. His editions are sought after for their craftsmanship and authentic portrayal of North American wildlife.

Don Stone Watercolor - Hunter in Snowy Field (1970s)
Est: $800 - $1,200
Don Stone (American, 1929-2015). Hunter in Snowy Field. Watercolor, ca. 1970s CE. Signed at lower left. A winter hillside opens before the viewer, hushed beneath fresh snow, as a lone figure in a red plaid jacket stands at the edge of a frozen field. In this watercolor from the 1970s, Don Stone captures the quiet drama of a familiar New England landscape, using transparent washes and crisp, drybrush marks to evoke shifting light, brittle branches, and the subtle warmth of earth showing through the snow. Stone's lifelong sensitivity to atmosphere shapes every inch of the scene: the muted sky dissolves into distant hills, the bare trees rise like ink strokes against the cold air, and the figure's stance draws the eye into the broad, open space beyond. His training as a plein-air painter is evident in the immediacy of the brushwork and the confident handling of light, which turns an ordinary winter moment into something contemplative and expansive. Size: 15" W x 11" H (38.1 cm x 27.9 cm) About the artist: Don Stone emerged as one of the leading modern impressionist painters of his generation, celebrated for a mastery of light that transformed harbors, headlands, and working shores into radiant studies of atmosphere. He often remarked that the subject itself was secondary to the light that animated it, a philosophy that shaped a career spanning more than six decades and earned him a devoted audience of collectors and fellow painters. Born and raised in Gloucester, Massachusetts, Stone discovered painting early and received four years of formal art training at Gloucester High School. He continued his studies at the Vesper George School of Art in Boston, later returning to its faculty as an instructor. His most formative mentorship came through private study with Paul Strisik, N.A., who introduced him to the discipline and joy of plein-air painting. Stone's early experiences among Gloucester's fishing community left a deep impression, and those memories resurfaced throughout his mature work, particularly during his long association with Monhegan Island, Maine. Stone's artistic achievements earned wide recognition. He was elected to full membership in the National Academy of Design, the American Watercolor Society (Dolphin Fellow), the American Society of Marine Artists (Fellow), the Salmagundi Club (Honorary Member), and the New England Watercolor Society (Lifetime Honorary Member). He was also an active member of the Guild of Boston Artists, Allied Artists of America, the Hudson Valley Art Association, the Rockport Art Association (Lifetime Member), and the North Shore Art Association, among many regional groups with whom he exhibited for years. His paintings were shown in numerous public museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Museum of Mobile, Alabama, and the Canton Art Institute in Ohio.

Don Stone Watercolor Painting, 2 Figures in Snowy Field
Est: $800 - $1,200
Don Stone (American, 1929-2015). Figures in a Snowy Field. Watercolor, ca. 1970s CE. A winter field becomes a quiet stage in this 1970s watercolor by Don Stone, its pale expanse interrupted only by two small figures making their way across the snow. Stone's practiced eye for atmosphere animates the scene: slate clouds press low over the horizon, while the earth below breaks into a tapestry of ochre grasses, icy washes, and windswept marks that suggest the textured churn of frozen ground. The artist's long devotion to painting directly from experience is unmistakable here. His brush captures the kind of fleeting winter light he so often sought outdoors, where shifting weather could turn a simple hillside into a meditation on tone and temperature. The figures - humble, bundled, purposeful - give the landscape both scale and story, underscoring Stone's belief that ordinary encounters with the land could offer their own quiet revelations. Size: 15" W x 11" H (38.1 cm x 27.9 cm) Stone's command of watercolor is on full display: drybrush mingles with delicate wet passages, crisp scratches cut through warm pigments, and the composition breathes with a sense of immediacy that reflects his lifelong commitment to plein-air practice. The result is a scene at once familiar and contemplative, inviting the viewer to step into a winter day distilled through the hand of an artist who spent his life honoring the subtle drama of lived experience.

CONTACT US SKU#: 123604 US SHIPPING: $120 + insurance. BIOGRAPHY: Internationally known modern impressionist painter Don Stone died peacefully at Exeter Hospital on Thursday, March 12, 2015, after a brief illness. He was surrounded by his family, and maintained his humor and wit to the very end.He was born March 27, 1929, in Council Bluffs, Iowa, to Hester Bell and Arthur Dimick Stone. After graduating from Gloucester High School and Vesper George School Of Art, he was drafted into the Navy, where he served as a Gunnery Yeoman on a destroyer. While there, he painted portraits of the ship's officers. His painting of the ship in battle hung in the officer's quarters. After the Navy, he returned to teach at Vesper George and the New England School of Art, and he was a commercial artist and cartoonist at the Boston Post and the Lowell Sun.In the early 1950s, he realized that he wanted to be a fine artist. In 1954, he was invited by fellow artist Paul Strisik to go on a painting trip to Monhegan Island, Maine. He fell in love with the island and spent the rest of his life painting this beautiful place and the people who lived there. For 40 years he conducted painting workshops on Monhegan, which were enormously popular because of his remarkable knowledge of painting and his unique sense of humor. He considered Monhegan his true home. Don was elected to full membership in the National Academy of Design, American Watercolor Society (Dolphin Fellow), American Society of Marine Artists (Fellow), Salmagundi Club (Honorary Member), and New England Watercolor Society (Lifetime Honorary Member).

After the Navy, he returned to teach at Vesper George and the New England School of Art, and he was a commercial artist and cartoonist at the Boston Post and the Lowell Sun.In the early 1950s, he realized that he wanted to be a fine artist. In 1954, he was invited by fellow artist Paul Strisik to go on a painting trip to Monhegan Island, Maine. He fell in love with the island and spent the rest of his life painting this beautiful place and the people who lived there. For 40 years he conducted painting workshops on Monhegan, which were enormously popular because of his remarkable knowledge of painting and his unique sense of humor. He considered Monhegan his true home. Don was elected to full membership in the National Academy of Design, American Watercolor Society (Dolphin Fellow), American Society of Marine Artists (Fellow), Salmagundi Club (Honorary Member), and New England Watercolor Society (Lifetime Honorary Member).
