DON BRECKON
BIOGRAPHY
Don studied at the Bath Acadamy of Art, training to become an art teacher. His interest
in trains started at an early with a fondness for trainspotting and the age of steam.
As 'the age of steam' declined, his interest in the history of railways increased
and on a visit to the Clapham Museum of Transport he saw an exhibition of Terence
Cuneo's work.
From this time and with different influences nudging him towards a
change in direction, Don began the final steps away from a teaching career and into
the unknown salutation of making a living as an Artist. Don decided to sell the family
home and move away from Reading where he had taught for the previous eight years.
After travelling around for a while he settled in Cornwall to begin this new life.
After painting a range of subjects he decided to concentrate on 'railways' and to
his pleasant surprise his work began to sell well.
