Donald McIntyre is noted for his landscapes and coastal scenes which are painted in vivid colours. He was born in Leeds and attended Scarborough College and Skipton Grammar School. He studied art with James Wright and developed a style in the Scottish Colourist tradition. He has had a long series of solo exhibitions. Galleries in Birkenhead, Newport, Merthyr Tydfil, and Southport hold his work. He lives in Tregarth near Bangor, Gwynedd.

A retired member of the Royal Cambrian Academy, he was formerly a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour, the Royal Society of Marine Artists and the Pastel Society.

His work remains highly collectable, having his final solo exhibition at the Albany Gallery recently, which was again a sell out.

Sadly Donald McIntyre passed away on January 13th 2009.
