"These are the Days", Original Mixed Media Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin

These are the Days

One of the advantages of Facebook is that we have the chance to get our artwork "out there".  In doing so, I met the most amazing group of artists.  We collaborate every month to auction our work off and donate a portion of our sales to a different charity each month.  It's our way of giving back and paying it forward.

This month's charity is one that is very close to my heart. GRRACE (Golden Retriever Rescue and Community Education) is committed to locating and rescuing Golden Retrievers in need throughout my home state of Indiana. They take in Goldens when their owners no longer want them, when they are abandoned at shelters, or when they are picked up as strays. Their volunteers have such passion and commitment for these wonderful animals. We hope you'll join us on June 25th and 26th for this month's auction where your participation will aid in the rescue of these sweet dogs.

This is one of the pieces I will have available for this month's event.  The title is "These are the Days".  The days and the moments are truly precious.  That’s what I was thinking about in creating this painting.  It was created with many layers of papers, alcohol inks, and acrylic paints.

Original Aspens Oil Painting, "Back and Forth" by Colorado artist Dianna Fritzler

"Back and Forth"

Oil Painting on Cradled Board

18" x 6" x 2" (gallery wrap - no need to frame)

$350

Living in Colorado, I am always inspired by Aspen trees.  Barren and bold in the winter.  Wearing a green wild wig in the summer and whispering cool night tunes in fall.  Always intermingling - yet individually stoic.

If you're interested in the painting, please contact me through my website at dfritzlerstudio.com

Thanks and have a grand day!
