ABOUT THE ARTIST
Douglas Orr Zeigler was born in Dixon, Illinois and attended The University of Chicago and The Art Institute of Chicago (BFA). He studied drawing, painting and design with several European emigre faculty who taught the traditional, rigorous disciplines of drawing, composition and color. In this environment, he developed an approach to his artistic vision which is grounded in representation and nature, but also taps expressive, spontaneous impulses—and summons an instinctive execution.
The artist has continued study throughout his career with numerous teachers in both oil and watercolor, and has led life-drawing groups in the community.
Zeigler works outdoors, “plein-air”, as well as in his studio in Manakin Sabot, Virginia.
COMMISSIONS
The artist accepts commissions for a wide variety of artwork: portraits, landscapes and coastal subjects, marine scenes including boat portraits—virtually anything is possible. Through a step-by-step process employing preliminary sketches and color studies, a successful result is assured.
