Comments
We have 2 (or is it 3?) of Don's pieces in our house. You can spot his work a mile away - nothing else like it. Well deserved.
Don does have very nice work. What is especially unusual is that he doesn't have "showstoppers" but a solid body of work that is clearly his own done to perfection.
