The Latest News from Debra Joy Groesser Fine Art "Capturing the Spirit" _____ ATB_Logo_MWFA This Memorial Day On this Memorial Day weekend, we honor and give thanks to all who currently serve, have served and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. To celebrate the people, places and spirit of our beautiful country, Mary Williams Fine Arts of Boulder, Colorado, proudly launches a virtual fine art show and sale entitled AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL on Memorial Day, Monday, May 31st at 10:00 am Mountain time. To view the exhibition, visit https://www.marywilliamsfinearts.com/ and click on the American flag logo on the home page. There you'll find instructions on how to navigate the site and purchase artwork. The show features America's top artists from all 50 states. I'm very honored to have nine paintings included in this beautiful exhibition! As a special bonus, 20% of all proceeds will be donated to FEEDING AMERICA, an organization that supports over 200 American food banks. Below are two of my nine paintings included in this exhibition. We hope you'll check it out and enjoy this very special show. Some fun news...it was a wonderful surprise to be featured in the June/July issue of International Artist Magazine in an article about plein air painting - painting outdoors on location. They also did a full page entitled "On Location" showing me with my outdoor painting gear and tips on equipment...it was quite an honor to be included! As always, thank you for your friendship and support...you make it possible for me to continue creating and hopefully bringing a little beauty and joy into our world. Until next time, take care and all my best to you and yours!

Here is the full image of the completed painting (below). It was a joy to see the delight on the faces of the client and his wife when she opened it! If you would like to commission a painting for someone special in your life, or for yourself, please contact me. I'd be honored to help you create a memorable gift or a family heirloom. It's not too early to be thinking ahead to the holidays!
