    What people are saying

    • They are amazing to see in person – much greater than I even expected!
      I’m really fortunate to have gotten in touch with Derek’s work and to
      proudly show it in my home. Fits perfectly well here in Naples, Florida!”

      Thanks again, Brett

    • My favorite commissioned painting was of my two sons catching large, beautiful trout on the Missouri River and the Madison River. It was through numerous conversations that Derek came up with the idea of having a neutral setting in between the two boys that allowed for the painting to actually be two physically separate paintings that were connected together. So for now, I am the proud owner of one large painting of my two sons holding up fish in a driftboat.

      At some point, as each boy grows up, we can separate that painting so that each boy can have his own painting. Brilliant!

    • “When we finished our home in Montana, looking at the fireplace, it did not take one second before my wife and I thought, “this place needs a DeYoung.” We later met Derek and Janell at an event in San Francisco where we talked about what we wanted. Derek then “saw” a vision that is now turning into the centerpiece of our home.
