Donie Schmidt
Painter

I was born in Colorado and grew up in New Mexico, where I was surrounded by scenic beauty and majestic wild life. At the present I live in Northeastern PA with my husband ,our precious Lab, Shadow and the newest addition is Josie my little Shih Tzu Here I continue to enjoy an abundance of wild life. We live on a 2+ acres of wooded land in Dyberry where the deer, birds, wild turkeys and black bear are bountiful.

My earlier works reflected the use of acrylics, oils and watercolors, which lead me to my primary medium. Pastels. They have become my passion. Favorite subject to paint are animals and I always start with the eyes. That is the soul of the animal and of my work.

Along with my pastels I also enjoy doing small paintings on feathers and mushrooms.

Originals as well as a few select limited editions, number and signed Giclee prints available.

Commissioned pieces done by request.
