Collection of the artist. Prints are available.
I painted this after visiting Arizona for a week. I started the pears as a still life in the studio. I kept seeing the Arizona landscape with its meandering streams and canyons in my mind as I painted the line of pears. I had a wonderful time exploring the hills and canyons. I hiked almost everyday while I was there. The desert is beautiful.

Golden Glow

Golden Glow was painted after some quiet time by myself. I have found that my creative side is helped by small increments of time without interruption by man or beast. I am usually drawn to landscapes after such a time by myself. Probably because I enjoy being out of doors so much.

In the Arms of a Tree





















"In The Arms of a Tree" copyright © Debbie Turner Chavers

It is a pleasure to see a child reading a good book.
I always loved the ability to check out a new book via the library, the loan from a friend or joy of joys a new book that was purchased for me to keep. I still have a great love of good literature and hope to pass it on to others. The value of trees is seen in many forms and I am grateful for the thin sheets of paper that gave their beauty for our enjoyment. Plant a tree and read a good book today!

Practice Equals Growth

I have never had the time or privilege of painting for any length of time until this past year. I would paint or draw at random moments in the midst of a very busy life during the raising of my three children. In the beginning I was hesitant to get started on a painting. I never felt that I could manage to paint anything of value if I did not spend an enormous amount of time on the creation of the painting. But desire overcame my self imposed obstacles. Little by little I practiced creating my view of the world around me.

Daily practice is a wonderful way to improve ones vision and technique toward what you are trying to convey to others through painting. I started "practicing" 10 years ago and I am still learning daily how to convey what I "see". It still amazes me the varied hues and saturation of color that I see in the world around me. Once I started painting my world changed as I began to "see" the world as a place of infinite colors. My initial response toward the commitment of painting on a regular schedule was astonishing. I started to "see" the landscape, the light on an object, the colors in shadows. It was as though I was suddenly sighted after being blind. Daily practice is a way for you to grow as an artist and to nurture your creative spirit.

If you think you do not have the time to practice, consider trying my quick start process. Give yourself 10 minutes a day toward giving the world a window into your world. Ten minutes may seem absurd but if you get started you will be amazed with your progress. Try this schedule for a quick start toward productivity and artistic growth. Spend the first 10 minutes thinking through your concept of what you want to accomplish. The second day, a quick sketch. The third day, choice your media and colors. The fourth day, apply your first stroke of genius. Well, you get the picture. Now show it to the rest of us.
Keep in mind, an oak tree started as a very small acorn.


Working diligently,
Debbie
