Writing about my life as an artist, plein air painting, traveling and whatever else might intrigue me.

Just Sold!
Stopped by the Sharon Weiss Gallery this afternoon and found that my painting "Blue Crinoline" just sold to a good home! I'm happy for the good home! I LOVED this one.

"Debra Joyce Dawson paints colorful, evocative outdoor landscapes. She travels extensively, and her paintings can serve as a painterly travelogue to India, Bhutan, England, Ireland, as well as to her more local surroundings. Her medium of choice is oil, with preparatory sketches in graphite, charcoal, pen or watercolor. Some works are small and completed en plein air; other works are larger and more complex renderings done in her studio. Her energy and delight in color, light, and shape are dazzling. But she never surrenders her subject, and each building, boat, hillside, or human figure is carefully pinned to the picture plane in the context of its surroundings. This places her in the best context of American Impressionism, whether one considers John Singer Sargent or Ohio’s own Alice Schille or Edward Henry Potthast." - Susan Talbot-Stanoway, Director Zanesville Museum of Art

I love to see colors like this and paintings like yours that really work tonally.
