Doug Hall

Doug Hall is an acclaimed artist and black powder rifle enthusiast who has lived in a hand-built log cabin in Missouri for over 40 years. His interest in painting Eastern Woodland Indians began at a young age when his mother provided him with art supplies and lessons. At just 8 years old, Doug sold his first painting for $2.50.

In addition to his artistic pursuits, Doug has long been fascinated by black powder rifles. He started holding weekly black powder rifle shoots at his Log Cabin Gallery over 30 years ago, a tradition he maintains to this day. Doug’s first flintlock rifle was purchased on a trip to Tennessee when he was 15 – a trip his mother only learned about after the fact.

Doug’s paintings have been featured in several books and he has two large ceramic tile murals on public display – one at the Indigo Sky Casino and one at the Neosho Library. His work has garnered praise over the years, including being honored by the Eastern Shawnee tribe with their highest award for a non-member, the “Blanketing” by Chief Glenna Wallace.

With over 40 years of experience, Doug has established himself as a renowned painter of Eastern Woodland Indians. His iconic painting “Tecumseh – Shooting Star,” now part of the permanent collection at the Booth Museum, exemplifies his artistic talent and contributions to Native American-inspired art.
