About the artist:
Since his birth in Indianapolis, Indiana on May 19, 1921, Don Peters has continually expressed his multifaceted talents. While serving in the US Marine Corps. at the age of 19, Don received his first international recognition from combat sketches made between 1942 and 1945. Exhibited in the National Galleries of London and throughout the US. These sketches earned Don a scholarship from the National Newspaperman's Association, metaphysics, spiritual space, romantic realism and miniaturism. His preference for the rapidly drying medium of acrylic allows Don to achieve drama in his color placement.
He began his career in Hollywood in 1953, where he worked with Walt Disney, M.G.M., Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox, Warner Brow., Columbia and Filmation. In 1964, Don won the Venice Film Festival award for his screenplay, "The Soldier." Also, in 1966, Don received the Academy Award Nomination for the original screenplay and story "Naked Prey". 1971 Don was a background Artists on the film Journey Back to OZ aka Return to OZ. Animated Musical Fantasy.
Don Peters' Mean Machine design
Peters later helped design the 1968-69 Hanna-Barbera cartoon series Wacky Races for Iwao Takamoto and Jerry Eisenberg, as Eisenberg recalled: "Iwao designed Penelope Pitstop and her car... And then there was some guy named Don Peters, who Iwao knew from his days at Disney, he was a designer. And he got Don to do some freelance help, and he designed that car that Dick Dastardly had, it looked like a Captain Nemo-type car, you know, like a submarine. Peters then worked on animated series Hot Wheels (1969) before a long association with production company Filmation, working as a background artist on animated series Star Trek (1973-74), The New Adventures of Batman (1977), Flash Gordon (1979-80), Blackstar (1981), He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983-85), Ghostbusters (1986, the Filmation franchise) and She-Ra: Princess of Power (1985-87), and on feature movies Journey Back to Oz (in production at Filmation from 1964 until it was finally released in 1972) and The New Adventures of Pinocchio (1987). The company's plans to produce similar 'classic' sequels, such as Snow White: Happily Ever After (1990) and the abandoned Alice Returns to Wonderland and The Continuing Adventures of the Jungle Book, were challenged by a 1986 lawsuit from Walt Disney Productions, before the studio was suddenly and unexpectedly closed down by it's parent company in 1989.
Don has exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum, the Whitney Museum and the National Pastel Society of New York.
His paintings and drawing were and are owned by H.R.H., The Prince of Wales, John Wayne, Bing Crosby, Lee Remake, Blake Edwards, Julie Andrew, Jane Withers, Peter Hurt, Bill Wellman, Jack Warden, Henry Mancini and others.
Don passed away quietly at his home in Hollywood Beach, CA October 4, 2002 at the age of 81.

Carmel Beach
By Willard Dixon
Located in Burlingame, CA
A tranquil oil painting featuring an early evening sunset with people strolling on the main beach in Carmel in front of a majestic sky from Willard Dixon, who is one of the finest American contemporary realist painters today. Dixon has painted coastal landscapes for 35 years, capturing the undeniable beauty of the West with its grand and humble spirit. The painting, with its atmospheric light and calm color palette in natural sky blue and setting sun warm red to purple, is contemporary and serene. The colors are reminiscent of Rothko as they shift in natural bands. Looking at this painting is like looking through a window to a lovely moment as the close of a day.
Dixon’s work can be found in numerous distinctive private and public collections, as well as the San Francisco Museum of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art and his work is collected Internationally. Artist signed and dated. A classic Dixon that will sure to bring those who view it a life time of pleasure.
