“Even though this Christmas
We must spend apart,
You're still right here with me,
Because I keep you in my heart.
So picture me there beside you
Sitting by the twinkling tree,
And rest assured next Christmas
You'll truly be spending it with me.”

A rare photograph of DJW in his natural habitat🐒🌿... now being dutifully overlooked by a 5m x 1.4m panel commissioned in 1988 (one of 4) for Roma Street Travelodge celebrating the Queensland outback.

This panel of the artwork slowly made its way home, most recently being gifted back to Donald by fellow artist, Kel Nielsen after selling his property. It is now proudly hung from the mezzanine in Don’s new studio like it was painted to fit! Fancy that! ✌🏼❤️🎨

This is my publisher Scott from @originpublishing☺️ We have worked together for 18 years now! ❤️

He began reproducing my artworks after HRH Queen Elizabeth II selected 2 of my paintings displayed at Novotel for CHOGM for The Royal Art Collection.

Scott has revolutionised the print process and won many awards for being the best in his field. There are many processes involved to get to the stage photographed but this is my favourite -

I get to put a piece of myself onto every limited edition print by painting my signature in acrylic, hand signing & numbering and giving my blessing before they are sent off to their new homes.

Scott does do a wonderful job- so nice to see that that is one business that’s still going strong.

We had prints of an amazing original you did for us of our son. It's such high quality! Those paintings in this photo would make great Jigsaw puzzles!!

Fabulous !! ( the Man, the work, the mission ) ❣️🎨

What a great story and you would have many more 😂

‘Great Set’ ... all mine 🌊🏄🏽‍♂️💙🌼💕

Lizzie has good taste.

Wow how special.

Fantastic! I would love it if you could show us the 2:paintings Queen Elizabeth selected 🙂

Happy birthday Amy! It was a pleasure to create this keepsake for you 💓What an awesome gift idea!

Amy was blown away with this one, I was struggling for a gift idea (I like to be sneaky and innovative) but a quick chat with Donald James Waters OAM sorted that out instantly.

The amazing man created a canvas with Amy as the feature for her 40th birthday celebrations. Then all our beautiful friends personalised it with messages and love.

I am so happy that Don created this for us, but no where near as happy as Amy is right now.

Thank you to all our wonderful friends who came and celebrated with us last night you made the day amazing and we couldn’t be happier to have spent our day with such an amazing bunch of friends we love each and everyone of you thank you for everything you do to make all of our days happy.

Do you have a DJW image you love but it’s not quite the right size for where you envisage it in your home?

Luckily our limited edition giclee canvas prints can be scaled down or up to fit your custom space like this large golfing print.

Looks fantastic!

Just like finishing a good book, happy/sad emotions as the commission process capturing the members of this beautiful family, their home, pets and interests (on a tropical island) comes to an end... was just missing a baby turtle!

Thank-you for consulting with me in the studio, by phone and email- letting me get to know you so I could capture you all on canvas. It’s been an absolute pleasure and I know this will bring you many years of joy!✌🏼❤️🎨

PSA 📣:

I have always considered myself fortunate to live out my dream as a professional artist; but to also have the tools to MANAGE MY MENTAL HEALTH USING THE ARTS.

Life has changed for many of us this year and although my exhibitions & events have been cancelled, I have been fortunate through technology to still be able to offer my art and teaching via the internet.

I want to use my skills to help anyone locked down in Melbourne to use The Arts to get through this challenging time. I am offering free subscriptions to my online Art Course: isolationeducation.vhx.tv for those affected. E-mail education@djwaters.com.au to get setup.
