Debra and Don Groesser Debra Joy Groesser with paintings _____ New Paintings Journey "Journey" 48x72" oil on gallery wrap canvas About six years ago, hubby and I went to Kearney, Nebraska, to view the Sandhill crane migration. We only had one night there and were so fortunate to be treated to one of the most spectacular Nebraska sunsets we've ever seen, in addition to thousands of cranes. If you've never witnessed this wonder of nature, we highly recommend it. There's no describing the sight and sound as they take off and land. This painting, "Journey" (48x72" oil on gallery wrap canvas), was painted from reference photos I took of that magical night. If you look closely you'll see groups of cranes in the sky as they come in to roost for the night. Available through Out of the Box in Ralston, NE. Click on the image for more information. "Visitors" 40x30" oil (work in progress) "Visitors" 40x30" oil (work in progress) Here's what's currently on my easel...it's SOOO close to being finished! Just needs a few more tweaks. You'll be able to see the finished piece at this weekend's gallery open house. The subject is a fawn and doe who have been living in the woods behind our house. Hubby and I were in our backyard one day and heard a noise. I turned around to see the very curious fawn looking at us with mama watching us closely behind her baby. I was lucky to snap a photo of them and knew I had to paint it. This one is 40"x30" on gallery wrap canvas. _____ Current and Upcoming Shows/Events Nebraska Biennial Juried Exhibition.
