Don Hall

Don Hall, a native West Virginian, is a professional artist who began to paint when he was 33 years old. His work has been greatly influenced by French Impressionism and the Hudson River school of painting. He paints a variety of subjects, concentrating primarily on landscapes. For many years he combined his interest in painting with a career as a motion picture director and editor, spending most of his time doing studio painting. After retiring in 2000, he has concentrated on his love of painting en plein air. He paints exclusively in oils on linen, canvas and artist board, capturing lovely mid-Atlantic, New England and western landscapes in a style that reflects both realism and impressionism. He is a member of Oil Painters of America, the Tucson (AZ) Plein Air Painters’ Society and the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association. Don is one of the featured artists in the book 100 Plein Air Painters of the mid-Atlantic, published in 2014 by Schiffer Publishing Ltd.
