About a month and a half ago I made a discovery! A new email platform that I believe is going to be very effective for me in my Artistic Adventures - and with my books! I moved from Mail chimp to Substack. Substack began in 2016 as a writers blogging platform. It is expanding and adding more and more capabilities all the time. The biggest change is that IT IS FREE FOR BOTH READER AND USER. I own all my content and my reader's lists. Here is a short video to explain even more! Right at the end there is a link for you to subscribe to my Newsletter on Substack. Please join for FREE!

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.
