Donald holden is a Contemporary Abstract artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Donald Holden wore paint like a second skin—after years as a postal worker, he’d come home with brushes still clumped in his coat pockets. He painted Yellowstone’s fires the way you’d watch them from a safe ridge: not with drama, but with the quiet fact of ash settling onto pine needles. Tap into Gallery Tiles through his 1991 watercolor Yellowstone Fire XVIII and you’ll see how a brush full of ochre can sound like a whole forest burning.
