Donald Purdy

Donald Roy Purdy (1924 - 2016) was active/lived in Connecticut.  Donald Purdy is known for Beach-landscape, mod still life, figure.

The following, submitted October 2004, is from Jackie Wolf.

My father owned three of Mr. Purdy's works which he acquired from the Little Terrace Gallery in New Hope, PA. Included in his papers was a bio done by the Gallery and dates to 1967. The major points of interest include the following:
