Hello and Happy Autumn!

Greetings once again! I hope you're enjoying the crisp fall air and the beautiful fall colors. It's truly my favorite time of year.

Three exciting events are coming up...the first one is this weekend!

First up, this Sunday, October 20th, is the opening reception for "Plein Air: In the Tradition of the Impressionists" at St Cecilia Cathedral in Omaha. This exhibit features plein air paintings (paintings created on location, outdoors) by six eastern Nebraska artists including yours truly.

Next, on November 1st, mark your calendar for the opening of a very special exhibition at my gallery! "Impressions" will feature eight nationally recognized, award winning Impressionist painters, most of whom have never shown there work in our area. Opening reception will be Friday, Nov. 1st, from 5:30 to 9pm. if you love Impressionism, you won't want to miss this!

Ready or not, the holidays are fast approaching. Can you believe it? If you're looking for artful gifts this year, I'd love to help! My annual Holiday Open House is early this year (since Thanksgiving is so late and the shopping season is shorter). Come by the gallery November 2nd and 3rd between noon and 6pm...read on to see a sample of this year's gift items. There's something for everyone and to fit every budget!

Hubby Don and I recently returned from New York City where we held the American Impressionist Society's 20th Annual National Juried Exhibition at the historic Salmagundi Club. What an incredible thrill it was to walk in the footsteps of the likes of Childe Hassam and William Merritt Chase...so much history there. If you ever get a chance to visit, it's well worth your time.

As always, thank you for your friendship, your time and your interest in my work. Together, through art, we can help make the world a more beautiful place.

Warmest wishes,

Debra
