Bucolic is the preeminent characterization that solidifies in the mind when describing Don Coen’s artwork. Born and raised where the grasslands meet the plains near Lamar, Colorado, Coen has experienced rural life with authenticity. His paintings mirror this validity and bring the farm and ranch life to center stage along with the importance of all the individuals who raise, nurture and harvest the food that sustains us daily. His eight decades of intimate engagement are the backbone to how pure his heart and his art play out on canvas.

His soft-focus approach to capturing the unique personalities of his subjects reveals complex layered techniques. Be it his flowing, low-pressure airbrush approach, his supple oil stick methods, or his gestural charcoal or ink drawings, Coen’s intricate methodology reveals his subject. Coen is truly a renaissance man of multiple mediums.
