The Beauty of Today

Happy Monday!

Since this is an art blog, and art is beautiful, I have something that has nothing to do with art but everything to do with beauty. The beauty I'm talking about today is the beauty that can be found in the knowledge that people are all fundamentally good at heart. In this world where all we see on the news is tragedy and the cruelty of some, it's easy to fall into thinking that most people must be bad. I feel like this is quickly spiraling into a sermon, so I'll just go ahead and wrap up before we all fall asleep! In short, don't doubt the goodness of your fellow man! Have a great week!

Until Next Time,

Upcoming Gallery Shows

Happy Monday, everyone!

Well, it's getting to be that time of year again...summer is over and now school is upon us! I'm sure many of you are getting things ready to send someone off to school, be it yourself, your kid, your grandkid, whoever. The bottom line is you're busy, so we'll keep this blog pretty short.

Insight Gallery in Fredericksburg, Texas will be hosting a show with work from our owner, Donna Howell-Sickles, on September 7th from 6-8 p.m. While several new pieces will be displayed at that time, Donna will unfortunately not be in attendance because she will be in Sun Valley, Idaho for the show we spoke of in a previous blog. We know it will be a wonderful show and we hope you are all able to attend.

Later that month, Donna will be headed to Jackson Hole, Wyoming for it's annual show, "Miniatures and More." Held at the National Wildlife Museum, this show is not only for people to enjoy the talent of our beloved artist, but also serves as a funndraiser for the museum. It will occur the third weekend in September (14-16) during the town's fall festival, so it is sure to be a lot of fun. We will keep you posted with more detailed information as we get it.


That's about it as far as announcements go, however we do have a special treat for all of you! The pictures above are of two pieces Donna is currently working on, and I don't know about all of you but I personally love them and wish I had a pet deer just like them!  Have a great week!

Until Next Time,

The Davis & Blevins Gallery Team

We Have Great News!

Hello all!

We hope you are all enjoying the beautiful weather we are having today and are taking full advantage of this welcome break from the sweltering heat! It's been more than a week since we last chatted and, boy, did a lot happen in the mean time!

As many of you are aware, not only was last weekend our opening reception for our show but it was also the weekend of the Saint Jo Rodeo. Needless to say, there was a lot going on in our small town this last weekend! If you weren't able to join us for the rodeo this year, we hope you will make it down for the rodeo weekend next year because it is always a lot of fun.

To turn back to our opening receptions of the latest show, Where We Live and Work (showing until the end of September), they were a HUGE success! We are so grateful to everyone who came out to show their support and to celebrate with us, we truly enjoyed getting to chat with all of you and showcase all of our wonderful Southwest artists. The picture above captures only a small amount of the amazing art we have on display now so make sure you come by and see it all for yourself!

In other news: Our owner, Donna Howell-Sickles, is soon to be featured in a show in Sun Valley, Idaho!

I would recommend a trip to Sun Valley any day of the week, but now that Donna is going to be in a show there, I don't know how you can resist!

Well, I think that is all we have for you today. Have a wonderful day and a happy week!
