DON STONE

An artist from Mohegan and I shared our memories of Don today. I lived in Ipswich. During the Summer 1962, I took watercolor classes from Don in Rockport, MA. He taught me everything about using the best paper, brushes, and pigments. Still use that Hatfield flat 1"! His focus on thumbnail sketching techniques, "center of interest" and "curtains of atmosphere" are phrases that are permanently thumb-printed into my practice of watercolor. Thank you, Don.

Knew Don briefly as a student at the Vesper George School of Art in the early '60's, where he was teaching. - An extremely interesting individual & a truly great artist.

This very distinct memory,, how to describe?
It was 1970 or close to it, I had met the love of my life in collage.
He was a native, I was a foreigner .. he took me to a party at Don Stones . The people, the art, I was mesmerized.
I will never forget that night.
I am grateful to have been a part of this incredible time.

I am a dermtologist in bangor and took care of Al Stanley .,one of Don;s favorite subjects......,I once sailed to Monhegan and Al took me up to Don's studio,, I knew nothing about DOn and we simply walked in unannounced ,,there was a HUGE painting on the wall of Al on his boat .. i was overwhelmed a by the painting and deeply impressed with the obvious bond between the two men ...peace bill gallagher

Sarah, I just opened my favorite American Art Review that arrived today and as always immediately look for Don's entry. I was so saddened to hear of his passing. I came to visit you and Don about 3 years ago on MI and I was deeply touched by both of you, your creative lives together, your wonderful house there which I often think of with the tremendous oil lamps lit on a cold foggy day. I am grateful to have met, and had a bit of time with both of you. My deepest condolences. I will miss his...
