Hello Art Friends! I wanted to share with you a little about Commissioned paintings or Custom Paintings. As you already see in my Original artwork I paint a little bit of everything. Therefore, if you have something you would like me to create - just for you or as a gift, please reach out and discuss it with me. A year ago I did a portrait of a dog for a Christmas gift. I created a painting I delivered to my neighbor - their favorite vacation spot. I have completed landscapes for clients of special places they have visited. I will be doing another Portait of a dog very soon. Book your spot today - accepting reservations for commissions - just one a month. Will you  be February's commissioned painting? Accepted on case by case basis. 50% down and balance due on completion. Contact me today!  Debra@DebraVance.com 

Be sure to visit the website  -  click Canvas Prints and find the perfect gift for that special someone. (or maybe yourself!)   Shop by Dec. 1st for delivery in time for Christmas.   www.DebraVance.Art

This will be the FIRST Studio Tour since we moved to San Angelo, TX. I will have ORIGINAL ART WORK, PRINTS AND CHRISTMAS CARDS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE! Hope to see you! 

Searching for a new Studio number. God had a hand in this one! While scrolling and searching for something that would spell ART (creating a vanity type number.) Not only did I get ART -  much to my surprise 244-3278  can spell out BIG 3ART. Watercolor, Oil, Mixed Media or ? another artistic symbol. Landscape, Still life, Portrait. or ? What 3 art themes can you come up with? Share with me & leave your comments (keep it clean, lolol!) 

Plan ahead. Get this one out of the way. Debra's Cards are printed by Insta Copy when they are ordered. She does not Keep  them on hand. Printing will take about 1 week. They can be picked up at her Studio or Mailed via USPS. So, get this one done. Go to the website and click "Books, Prints and More" then the Christmas Card page. Send her your emailed order. She will invoice you using Paypal and your email address (you do not need a paypal account.) Pay for the cards and she will contact you when the are ready.

Debra wrote her first book! Titled "Meander Mesilla" 
It is available on Amazon as both a paperback and e-book! 
     I can tell you - I didn't see this one coming. But once the idea was planted I knew that I had to create this one.
Blessed with the assistance from a freelance graphic designer; my first book has launched!
He took my manuscript, paintings and more and created something very special. 

Honored, Humbled, Happy and Blessed! 
What a delightful, stressful, educational opportunity. 

I therefore did create a "series" category as there will be more books in the future.
​Come! MEANDER with me!

So very many lovely paintings in the show. The Museum is Amazing in and of itself. If you are in El Paso, drop in and see the show. It will be up through the end of August. 

The Museum is on the corner of Montana & Brown streets in El Paso. I recommend you contact them for hours that they are open.
