For the last decade Don has sought to place more emphasis on his personal vision. Many quieter works have given way to vibrant basic colors. Much of his work now utilizes the four basic colors found in American Indian tradition. Whenever possible Don goes to the wilderness to recharge, take off his shoes and stand on the earth. Two notable treks involved spending time in the Boundary Waters canoeing and portaging over trails once traveled by his ancestors, another trek involved re-visiting the Escalante system in Utah. Sharp contrasts in landscape, but powerful places for the artist. Living simply and in harmony with the land has been most important to the artist's work.
