Hi Emma and Don!

Did you ever get that children's book off the ground that we discussed. Surrounding what was through the red door.

That’s the art I love, a piece where you stand back and interpret what you see, love it 😍

Really love that charcoal tree Don

You need a safety harness and a mattress on the floor!! And no drinkies Don 😂

I want my dinner

The dogs are inspired too, sometimes a bit randy

Good night you two ❤️

Mick Kelly. That tree appears in my painting with a red door in it.

You'd make a really affective white rabbit Don.

I’ve seen that tree in the back yard.

Is that a fried egg towards the bottom mid painting?

Your gunna need a lot of wax

A tyre with a wine glass holder

I’m going to need a bigger wall!

Hi Don and Emma... Best I crack a beer, settle in and enjoy the D n E show 👣❤

Is that figure with the ted dress and yellow face smoking a bong?

Hi Don love the steps to infinity

At least remembered where he left the painting

I will be there too Tomorrow

Thanks heaps both of you xx

That one looks like it’s taken hours! 🌟

Hi Emma and Don

Took me a while

Hello Don finally got time to watch you!!

Yep in WA. Hope to see you when you're here... Thanks to Don I love charcoals x

The first satin colour made me see the shape of a triceratops and now it’s like a mythical forest for me!! I love how many ways art can be viewed 🥰

I'm not sure if I'll be there tomorrow, may have to great grandsit

Something mythical definitely! and Cindy Dawson will need to buy it for her Grandson Ollie 😉🥰

Can’t wait to see the collection in Perth!!

It's a corroboree of birds and bees

Lovey and I will shout you champers, Emma!

Blue mountains. Eucalyptus oil!

Looks like a scene from Tassie!

Sounds wonderful

look forward to it

Can I let you know in the morning please

I knew Don from Logan Village 25 years ago - still inspiring!

His hardy mountain pony could scarcely raise a trot….

Good evening Emma and Don

All behind the green door

The hills are alive!!!

Love you all!❤️💙

Haven't changed Don!

Soft stuff it will be then!

It's very Australian

It’s a nice wall.

Brolgas dancing?

We could not stop laughing 😂 during the performance 🎭 after all the years that have past from when he was a not so shy lad some 50 years ago. ‘“Did I say 50 😄” still the same. Love to you mate. Kerrie & Peter

I loved the red door.

hey there, one of best childhood memories is having art lessons with you. Emma my mum was your brownie leader.

This is so fresh and lovely. Reminds me of bunches of shasta daisies or chrysanthemums gathered for Mothers Day

I'm loving this one Don, it's so soft and mushy

Yeah the sunshine in my life has returned love you XXX

We need to suit up for the green door experience

Dance of the fairies. From nutcracker

I'm glad you are feeling better

There are a few songs about what’s behind the green door….hmmm including a Celtic punk band.

I love the way Don just dabs on colours & then turns it into something amazing.

Your in touch with your feminine side tonight Don

I’m spectacular glad your over manvid…

I wish I lived there still so I could see him in action.

It reminds me of the flower field in bambi could paint Flower (the skunk) in the middle.

Can't be alone. Needs some friends

This is just beautiful Don!

The ability to produce a volume of work while suffering a mental illness is super impressive

Yeah looking forward to that

I see a phoenix

This is amazing Don!

Looks like big bird

Well hello me ol’ mate and that chick in the background that’s always talking 😝

Nothing a firepit won’t fix

Better than you, I think Don!

I feel like she should be warning off the endeavour

One things for sure, I wouldn’t mess with her!

It is interesting Don., weird but creative

I thought at first it was Anzac related

Sorry I won’t be there. Will be just out of quarantine and will stay away until next week.

Love watching you work old man.

Cheers! Im enjoying a Merlot while watching

Nice!! My Dad was a wool classed too!

Ive been living the dream

I love it Don, but it seems a different type of lonely with all the sails furled.

Hi Don. I had a couple bring in wine of your paintings to frame today

As a new follower, are you self taught? You are amazing!

If they didn’t have sails the painting would look like everyone out there prawning at the moment.

It's looking better and betterer. Drinks and nibbles on the sandbank at low tide with the cruise group. Heaps of fun.

Hello Don, I'm on the way, in rainy Canberra at the moment. Get that bar sorted out.

Put a smiley face in the bottom right to make mrs Dunn feel better hahaha

Hi Don and Emma. I have some beautiful Don Waters art at my home now. Thank you. Feel so very opulent here!!

The thing I love about your art is that you can look at something and be drawn to something else

Sitting on the deck having drinks with Don

The bottom left almost looks like a hand reaching out for them

Robbo reckons you need someone to do the edges for you!!

Looks quite ghostly but not dark like evil

Or maybe my imagination is running away with me

I’ll send Kerry she is good at giving directions

The Great Wall still doesn’t have canvas on it yet.

Put James Bond at the end of the tunnel

Been there and spoken to him already. It’s all sorted.

I used charcoal on canvas last night under acrylic

I just draw and erase and draw and erase

Don have you ever written a book or have dvds

It's going to be good anyway cause it's in charcoal

Check out those pins!!! How could a raw blooded male trade you in?!?!!

You looked awesome in it Lennox!

Love the red door series

Hmmmmm i can't remember but I had a couple so I may or may not have noticed

It now looks like a ventriloquist with their doll on their shoulder. I guess it’s love if it’s a puppet. A different kind of love. (Ben)

Put a beard on it and we will know who it is

I can see it! Definitely a warrior, exhausted propping themself on the spear. Yet, I see a woman not a male.

Set up a camera facing Don while he paints so we can see his tongue ! Hahahhaha

Hello from Benjamin. Happy birthday Darren!

Great stuff Don very you

Ugle couple so it must be love

The red looks like a back end of a deer

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
