Happy Friday!
Whew! I don't know about y'all, but it has been a crazy three weeks on this end. Between college finals, holiday travel, and a sudden shutdown of the Internet, I just did not think we were going to make it! The terrific news is, Christmas is a time of overeating and napping with neither pursuit taking too much effort!
Speaking of Christmas, did you realize we are a mere 10 days from Christmas Eve? It's true! As wonderful as the Christmas season is, it can definitely be a bit daunting when trying to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list. That's why I recommend you stop by the Davis & Blevins Gallery for many of your gift-giving needs! We have a wide variety of unique gifts for just about every age, from baby to baby boomer. We have candles, scarves, serving sets, and purses. We have jewelry, artwork, slippers, and children's toys. The list could go on and on, but instead of listening to me drone, why don't you stop by? We would love to help you find the perfect gift for everyone on your list.
We know it might be a bit of a drive for some, but there is no need to try to make it during the weekdays after work. We are open on Sundays! What a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon, visiting a great art gallery, purchasing wonderful gifts, and enjoying the one-of-a-kind atmosphere that is Saint Jo, Texas. Come see us anytime from 12-4 pm for a leisurely, yet productive, time!
Until Next Time,
The Davis & Blevins Gallery Team

Saturday, November 10th- This time we'll see Donna in action. She is taking part of the QUICK DRAW held at Main Street and Marshall Way, also in Scottsdale, Arizona, from 10 a.m.- 1 p.m. Local, regional and national artists will be painting and sculpting in front of their live audience who will later have the opportunity to purchase the one-of-a-kind art.

Sneak Peek: Light on the Land
Hello again!
We just wanted to give y'all a sneak peek at our latest show, Light on the Land. Below are a couple of the paintings that are currently on display in the Davis & Blevins Gallery during our opening receptions THIS WEEKEND.
Until Next Time,
The Davis & Blevins Gallery Team
We just wanted to give y'all a sneak peek at our latest show, Light on the Land. Below are a couple of the paintings that are currently on display in the Davis & Blevins Gallery during our opening receptions THIS WEEKEND.
Join us this weekend for the opening reception of “Light on the Land” an exhibit of landscapes by our gallery artists. You will enjoy an array of work from images of rolling Montana hills to the cool waters of Colorado rivers and East Texas dusky skies.
Ted Waddell's artwork is at once traditional and contemporary. Ennis Horses is a western scene of horses scattered in the Montana landscape, yet the his drawing and color washes are fluid expressions of the artist and his tools.
Plein-air painter Gay Faulkenberry transports the viewer to a cool Colorado river scene. The sounds of rushing water and smell of evergreens is palpable in her oil Taylor River Spillover.
Deborah Paris paints in the tradition of 19th Century artists with oil glazes that add a haunting depth unattainable by any other method. Spring's Promise exemplifies this time honored technique.
Join us won't you at our reception this weekend October 13th & 14th as we celebrate these and our other gallery artist as they show us the landscape through an artist's eye.
Light on the Land
Opening Reception
October 13th & 14th 1-6p each day
