Spring Day on the Platte
"Spring Day on the Platte" 8x16 oil - available!
Happy May!
Hello from a sunny Nebraska where spring is in full bloom finally.
Tulips, bleeding hearts and daffodils are showing off in our perennial
garden and our peony tree is getting ready to bloom. Azalea and
rhododendrons won't be far behind. Hubby planted the vegetable garden
last weekend and I'll be filling the planters with colorful annuals in
the next couple of weeks. I love this time of year!
It has felt so good to be back at the easel again...finally! I've been
working on some miniature paintings the past week, just in time for
Mother's Day, wedding gifts, or any occasion...or just because. Check
out the four mini floral pieces below, fresh off the easel. These are
available at the gallery or through my website, so just click on the
images if you're interested!
And speaking of fresh off the easel, the painting above, "Spring Day on
the Platte," (8x16 oil) was painted just yesterday at a private cabin
along the Platte River south of Omaha. It was a spectacular spring
day...perfect for painting outdoors and capturing all the wonderful
variety of spring greens. I did a very similar view from the same
property last fall, so it was fun to capture it in a different season!
We are so happy to announce our gallery is open again now! Regular
hours are Thursday and Friday, 11am to 5pm, and Saturday, 10am to 2pm.
Other hours by appointment or by chance (I open the gallery if I'm in
the studio painting). Thank you for your patience as I recovered from
my knee replacement surgery! If you are in our area, please stop by and
say hi! There are lots of new things to see and lots of great gift
ideas for Mother's Day. Please note that we will be out of town May
31st through June 18th so the gallery will be closed while we are away.
Thank you to everyone who came by for our Ralston Wine Walk a couple of
weeks ago...we had a great turnout of nearly 200 people! And
congratulations to Cindy E., winner of the $50 gift certificate
giveaway!
As always, thank you so much for your friendship and support of our
work...We appreciate you! Hope to see you soon!
With sincere gratitude,
Debra Joy and Don Groesser
