I have to say that I love meeting all the diversified and talented individuals whom I am fortunate enough to assist in buying and selling homes here in Scottsdale, Arizona.
I met Donna and Herbert when I was a relatively new Scottsdale Realtor. We became fast friends and kept in touch for several years. Finally, Donna convinced Herbert that they just had to move to Arizona. So, we began a search for them and their pets. They now have a lovely home in north central Scottsdale and have not regretted moving "west".
We have remained good friends. I asked Donna if I could share her story as she has blossomed in to a wonderful southwestern artist. Below is her story. Please view more of her work her work at this site.
Donna Leonard is a transplant from Northern Virginia and moved to Arizona in 2006. She has always loved to paint but never had any formal training. After a few nudges from her neighbors who love to paint, she enrolled in a few classes at Scottsdale Artist School and the Via Linda Senior Center. That was enough to get her started and she developed a theme of painting cowboy portraits in oils. She loves the western scenery and will soon branch out into painting landscapes and desert life as well.
Donna entered a juried show at the Scottsdale Artist School and was chosen to exhibit her painting in the Best and the Brightest show in 2008 http://www.scottsdaleartschool.org. She is also on the 2009 www.gamblincolors.com site after entering a black and white portrait. She is currently entering more contests.
She lives in Scottsdale with her 21 birds and Pomeranian (and her wonderful husband of course)
