Mr. Ensor was a painter of limited Edition Prints. Don's art works are a result of many years of detailed pencil and pastel drawing. Since 1961, he has devoted all his efforts to painting with oils, perfecting a technique that enables him to obtain exacting detail of the subjects he selects. His ability is a natural talent. Having had no extensive art training, he has developed his talent first as a hobby and now as a profession. He was employed by an automotive manufacturer for 8 years, after which he became manager of one of the oldest retail bakery operations in Louisville. Don continued in the bakery business for 15 years, the last three of which were combined with his limited edition print business. In August. 1972, he and his wife Genny made the decision to devote full-time to art. Don was born in Red Boling Springs, Tenn. At the age of 2, his family moved to Louisville. He and Genny have two children, Donna and Mark. His profession now is art... his hobby is art... and his love for his work is reflected in every painting. He is past president of the Kentucky Heritage Artist. (Text is from the 'Hancock 29' booklet edited by Robert A. Powell 1979) Source: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/218029537/charles_don-ensor
