One of the great British landscape and coastal artists of the twentieth century, McIntyre’s work demonstrates a strong post-impressionist style, often in his signature palette, and continues to command a strong following. 
Born in Leeds, but raised in north-west Scotland, Donald McIntyre developed a unique sense of light and colour, and it is this palette which later distinguished him from the other artists of Wales, where he lived for most of his life.

McIntyre qualified as a dentist and worked for many years as an Educational Health Officer. However he also trained at the Glasgow School of Art and under some eminent artists. When he was 40, he finally committed himself to art as a full-time occupation, and never looked back. He brought to his work the exuberant spirit of his Scottish upbringing and a sound appreciation of European Art.

McIntyre was a member of the Royal Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy, Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour, the Royal Cambrian Academy, the Royal Society of Marine Artists and the Pastel Society. 

His work has been exhibited at the leading London galleries, including the Royal Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy, and today it forms part of many leading private and public collections.

This original oil painting by Donald McIntyre in entitled ‘Stormy Day, Craster, Northumberland’. It depicts the small village, about eight miles from Alnwick, on the east coast of Northumberland, with the waves crashing into the harbour. At the end of the harbour wall, we see the remains of a tower that was once a much taller building which was part of the overhead equipment used to convey the local stone from where it was quarried to boats in the harbour. The end of the harbour wall stands almost silhouetted against the bright flashed of the rough sea. There are two or three simple wooden fishing vessels pulled up onto the shore, leaving no boats in the water. This storm was perhaps anticipated. The modest houses on the shoreline seem to huddle together in the path of the elements. The palette here is typical McIntyre, with sharp signature notes of aquamarine and yellow, contrasting against the earthy tones of the shoreline. This is a piece with both gravitas, flair and spontaneity.
