The bay itself runs the southern coast of central Long Island to western Suffolk County with the barrier islands its only source of protection from the wide open sea.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EAs an islander and boater my whole life, the bay has always been the source of play, work, and peace of mind. A delicate environment always changing, always giving up something new to see, a true natural resource. It is with great pleasure I study and paint what has been given to us.\u0022\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBIO SUMMARY:\u003C/strong\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EBorn in Amityville, raised in Massapequa, NY, 1956\u003Cbr /\u003EAttended Roger Williams College, Bristol RI, received BA 1978\u003Cbr /\u003EAttended The School of Visual Arts, NYC, NY, studying realism painting\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EDoug began work at The National Broadcasting Company, 30 Rock in 1979 as a designer, where he still works today. He started in the Scenic and Graphic Design department, working in a staff of 10 with many freelance artists, pros from fields ranging from theater to Ad agencies,each with their own technical skills, styles, and tools, making the experience an all arts feeding ground. A six-time Emmy Award Winner at NBC, Doug has participated in a wide range of creative teams in entertainment and sports and works as a graphic designer for Saturday Night Live, and formerly designed for many sporting events and venues, MLB, NFL, AFL, NBA, NHL, tennis, NASCAR and The Summer and Winter Olympic Games.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EDoug\u0027s father John \u0022Jack\u0022 was very much the professional in his field as lead designer for Grumman Aircraft\u0027s Art Dept. in Bethpage, NY in the 50\u0027s and 60\u0027s. As a commercial designer and illustrator in his early years, he followed the wave of abstract painting to Long Island, giving his family the opportunity to grow at the waters edge. Never lacking the use of his father\u0027s drafting supplies and oil paints, Doug\u0027s interests took an early hold. He worked as a teenager on the Great South Bay as a dock master with early morning rises to lay the traps in the marshes, and still claims that it was the best job he ever had. His love of the Arts and the sea had always faired well together, as he always had the bay at hands reach on Long Island as well as the barrier islands to the Atlantic, and summer days that seemingly never ended. Doug resumed painting again in the later parts of his career, using traditional methods in preparation and application. \u0022Understanding the medium and its characteristics is a never ending learning process, technically and artistically. How the color, value and light represents the image is essential to composition, drama, and most importantly, the desire and discipline to convey that view.\u0022\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EDoug is constantly turning to the water for true inspiration, with runs to the shore with endless coastal settings. He has studied Plein Air and composition with acclaimed landscape painter Joseph McGurl at his studio in Cataumet, Massachusetts, applying the field techniques to the studio work, relying on one\u0027s eye and the understanding of nature\u0027s way. Doug\u0027s original work is represented in galleries of Connecticut, Maine, and New York and his print work is international.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAFFILIATIONS\u003C/strong\u003E- (current)\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EThe Salmagundi Club - Artist Member\u003Cbr /\u003EAmerican Artist Professional League -\u0026nbsp;Fellow Member\u003Cbr /\u003EArt Renewal Center - designated, Associate Living Master\u0026trade;\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECREDITS \u0026amp;
