"Sun Worshippers" 8x10 oil - Available!
Happy Autumn!
Hello again! It's my favorite time of year...the cool crisp evenings
and mornings, getting out the flannel shirts and sweatshirts, and oh,
the beautiful colors of the trees! I'm looking forward to getting out
and painting the beautiful fall colors here in eastern Nebraska.
The painting above, "Sun Worshippers" (8x10 oil), was painted early
last month at a farm in western Douglas County, Nebraska...something
completely different for me...and something I'll definitely try again
next season! It's available...click on the image for more information.
September was a busy month! I judged a plein air event in Fraser,
Colorado, in early September, did a painting demo (which sold) and a
talk, made many new friends and got to spend time with a couple of dear
friends there as well. That was followed by the opening week of the
American Impressionist Society National Juried Exhibition in Boulder,
Colorado. The exhibition runs through October 22nd at Mary Williams
Fine Arts, so if you're in the area, be sure to stop by and see this
amazing show! You can also view the online catalog here
.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In memory of our friend
Cynthia Sturgeon, who founded Project Pink'd, a local nonprofit that
provides services for breast cancer patients from diagnosis to end of
life, I'm donating 20% of the profits of the sale of my "Faith, Hope
and Healing" prints to Project Pink'd from now through Christmas.
Cynthia's courageous fight with breast cancer ended last month. Through
her organization, she helped thousands of women, including me, through
our battles with this terrible disease. It's only fitting to be able to
give back in honor and memory of her and the tremendous legacy she
leaves. See below for the image of the print and link to purchase. To
learn more about Project Pink'd, click here
. Thank you very much for your support!
Show season is winding down now, so it's time to start gearing up for
the holidays. I do still have time do take a very limited number of
holiday commissions, so if you're interested in commissioning a
painting please let me know as soon as possible. Paintings make
wonderful family heirlooms and are a very special gift!
SAVE THE DATES! I'll be having a Studio/Gallery Holiday Open House on
Saturday, November 19th, from 10am to 5pm and Sunday, November 20th,
from noon to 5pm. Hope you can join us for refreshments and some
holiday shopping!
I leave you this time with a beautiful quote I saw a couple of days
ago...
"Autumn leaves don't fall, they fly. They take their time and wander on
this their only chance to soar." - Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing
Be well my friends...until next time...
With sincere gratitude,
Debra Joy and Don Groesser

I did some new miniature paintings in the last month and they've been
quite popular! It's been a while since I've painted this small and I
forgot how much fun it is. Not only that, but it offers a very
affordable way to start or add to your original art collection! There
are currently two landscapes and two "veggie" still lifes available,
shown above. Each of these include a small dark wood display easel.
I'll be creating a number of framed minis over the next few weeks (for
the holidays) so keep watching my website for new additions to this
collection - just click HERE

The View from Sawhill Ponds
"The View from Sawhill Ponds"
8x10 plein air oil
Available through Mary Williams Fine Arts in Boulder CO!
While in Boulder for the AIS opening week festivities, we did a number
of "paintouts" where our artist members had specific locations they
could go and paint if they chose to. This was one of our locations -
Sawhill Ponds - with a beautiful view of the Flatirons. The colors were
just starting to change - so beautiful! I loved the reflections in the
pond and the brilliant blue of the mountain shadows.

Each year around the holidays I add more pieces to my "Retired Painting
Sale" collection. These are pieces that have made the rounds at
galleries and shows and just haven't found their "forever" homes yet. I
mark them down by anywhere from 30 to 60% or more off the original
retail price. Some are framed, some are unframed. Click here
to see the whole collection. It's a great
way to add to or start your collection at very affordable prices (and
even for gift giving)! Above are two paintings recently added. It's
first come, first served on all pieces in this collection, so I hope
you'll check them soon out for the best selection.
