Don Enright grew up in the southern Wisconsin dairy community of Elkhorn. Much of his childhood was spent in the outdoors fishing, hunting and roaming the woods and fields. In late summer and fall Don watched the great flocks of ducks and geese migrating southward. These Canadian Geese, Teal and Mallards became the inspiration for his early efforts as a wildlife artist.After World War II Don studied Graphic Arts at the American Academy of Art, The Studio School of Art and The Institute of Design in Chicago. Advertising agency and art studio work followed until he decided to leave the confines of Chicago and move west to enjoy the open spaces and scenic beauty of Colorado. Don then worked for 19 years as Art Director and artist for the Navigators, an international Christian organization. He began painting full-time in the spring of 1975 right after returning from a trip to photograph wildlife in Africa.Don's art reflects his love for wildlife and captures the natural grace and dignity of the animal. Whether he paints Bighorn Sheep in the Rockies, the antelope of the plains or the big cats of the Serengeti, Don's paintings give the viewer the feeling that he or she has become an unseen observer in the animal kingdom. |
