Art Brokerage: Donald Roy Purdy American Artist: b. 1924. Donald Purdy was born April 1924, five years before the 1929 Crash, in Norwalk, Connecticut. At 18 he was drafted into the Army and served almost 4 years and then on to college for seven years, B.A. at University of Connecticut, then onto graduate school at Boston University, earning a M.A. in Psychology, and then finish his graduate work for PH.D. in Psychology. It was at this point that he decided in the summer of 1952, he did not want to continue and write his dissertation. He had been painting for the last few years and working in galleries part-time. He had met many artists and decided he wanted to pursue painting. In all of those years of college he had never taken a single course in art. He had completed all course work for his Doctorate, but there was still a dissertation that could take a year or two. He made the decision that he wanted to pursue art. While in Boston for 3 years he had worked in galleries and had done picture framing for a large art store once he had come to the conclusion that he wanted to be a part of the art world. Donald Purdy is now 85 and still paints every day. He states “It hasn’t been easy, we have foregone many of the amenities, like vacations etc., but I must confess it has been completely rewarding. I write this to offer hope to up and coming artists. At times it does seem formidable to envision marriage, bringing up a family and simply painting for a life time. I always remembered a little book, given to me by my high school French teacher entitled “pas à pas”, step by step. It always suggested to me it always was possible to go where I wanted to go and to do so “pas à pas”, step by step.” Listings wanted by Art Brokerage.
