Don Talintyre FRAS

I began painting local scenes around Sydney in the 1970’s and worked in all mediums and all types of subject matter. While attending short art courses including Millthorpe NSW,  I acquired a taste for landscape painting.  Real improvement did not occur until a friend showed me the Meldrum method of tonal realism and the indisputable value of working from life.

I am a Life Member of the Bowral District Art Society, an exhibiting member of the Australian Society of Marine Artists and a Fellow of the Royal Art Society of NSW, where I exhibit on a regular basis and enter numerous art competitions every year.
