WINTER GIFTS......
WINTER GIFTS....
"There is nothing I can give you which you have not;
But there is much, very much that while I cannot give it,
you can take.
No heaven can come to us unless our hearts
find rest in today. TAKE HEAVEN.
No peace lies in the future which is not hidden
in this present moment. TAKE PEACE.
The gloom of the world is but a shadow.
Behind it, yet within reach is joy.
There is a radiance and glory in the darkness, could we but see,
and to see we have only to look. I BESEECH YOU TO LOOK.
Life is so generous a giver, but we, judging its gifts by
their covering, cast them away as ugly, or heavy or hard.
Remove the covering, and you will find beneath it
a living splendor, woven of love, by wisdom with power.
Welcome it, grasp it, and you touch the angel's hand that
brings it to you. Everything we call a trial, a sorrow, or
a duty, believe me that angel's hand is there; the gift is there,
and the wonder of an overshadowing presence.
Our joys, too, be not content with them as joys.
They, too, conceal diviner gifts.
And so, at this time, I greet you.
Not quite as the world sends greetings, but with
profound esteem and with the prayer that for you now and
forever, the day breaks, and the shadows flee away."
Fra Giovanni, 1513 AD
To Art Friends Everywhere! Many of you have been with me a long time and know I love to send this greeting every year. The original of this painting was "adopted" by some great friends and very prolific art collectors years ago and still resides in a lovely home in Taos. The street in this painting is the main street in Truchas -- I walked to the post office from my little adobe house every day and still keep the memories of that special time and place very close. The woman is the memory I've kept of my little Polish grandmother, Ella -- she carried a shopping bag with her everywhere -- those were her "gifts" her "surprises". The words of Fra Giovanni never fail to inspire and uplift - especially at this time of the year. From my heart I wish each and every one of you all the best of this holiday season -- Hug someone special today! Sincere best wishes, Donna - Taos, New Mexico 2017

Good morning! A beautiful day in the neighborhood! - Gave this painting to my brother, Jim, years ago right after it was completed. Have always felt this is one of my best pieces. Jim had it hanging in his Chicago office until he retired. Knowing that he has downsized and no longer has room in his home for this large piece, I have offered to sell it for him. This piece would ship from Wisconsin and costs are included in the price of the painting.

CREATE PEACE...
“The
images of peace are ephemeral. The language of peace is subtle. The
reasons for peace, the definitions of peace, the very idea of peace have
to be invented, and invented again. Children, everybody, here’s what to
do during war: In a time of destruction, create something. A poem. A
parade. A community. A school. A vow. A moral principle. One peaceful
moment.”—From THE FIFTH BOOK OF PEACE, Maxine Hong Kingston (Original
Oil Painting "First Light" by Donna Clair).

INTRODUCING GABE ABRUMS.....
Introducing
Gabe Abrums, Owner of Chimayo Trading Del Norte. About a month ago I
received an e.mail that Gabe would like to work with me to sell my
paintings, We have met and made a good connection. Both he and his
wife were raised in Chimayo, New Mexico - and, for the first time, I
have someone who truly knows the places in northern New Mexico where I
have lived and painted for fifty years. This is new - and over the next
few months, we will learn to work together. In the meantime all my
original paintings will be available through Collector's Gallery
on my website. Some can still be purchased through my studio and
others will go through the gallery. Gabe will also be showing some of
my paintings in Santa Fe this weekend.
OBJECTS OF ART/SANTA FE - A special show - El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe, 555 Camino de la Familia. Friday/Sunday - 11Am to 5PM.
In Taos the gallery is located in the historic Ranchos de Taos Plaza, right near the beautiful and iconic St. Francis Church. I love this old church have prayed there many times. Somehow this all feels right. I am very happy to have made this connection and hope that you will visit the gallery or my website to keep up with my new work. A huge sigh of relief that now I will have more time to paint - always a good thing!
