M. Donna Good, born in 1941 in Muskogee, Oklahoma, is an associate member of The Texas Watercolor Society and River Art Group Gallery in historic La Villita on the San Antonio Riverwalk. Her watercolor paintings and mixed media artworks are characterized by a unique approach to beauty that is rooted in contemporary discourse. Good seamlessly weaves references and ideas into her compositions, inviting viewers to delve deeper into the images and ponder the reasons behind their emotional impact long after the initial viewing.
Donna's paintings blur the lines between reality and imagination, particularly in her exploration of floral and landscape themes. While her works are based on imagined concepts, they are firmly grounded in the tangible world of botany that shapes our existence. Through a nostalgic lens, she probes the complexities of landscapes, playing with visual effects and challenging our preconceived notions of natural elements like rivers, mountains, and fields of grass. The vibrant color palette she employs creates an illusion that beckons viewers into the realm of their own imagination.
Her layered, translucent watercolor works serve as a reflection on the very essence of painting itself. Drawing inspiration from her travels with her husband, Bob, across various states and her research on family genealogy and fly-fishing, Good's pieces pay homage to the rich history of watercolor landscape art. Currently based in San Antonio, Texas, Donna is renowned for her exquisitely detailed floral watercolor paintings and her passion for jigsaw puzzles.
