Yesterday's Rose by Pamela Blaies

6" x 6"
oil on linen panel

I cut this rose to paint a little while ago, but didn't get to it that day. Today, I decided I wanted to put it in my composition. Alas, it was to pooped to party and began dropping petals left and right. I still loved its graceful shape and decided the fading beauty was the heart of this little piece.

I love to share my art and inspiration. Click HERE to sign up for my email newsletter and receive a free gift of postcards.

Birds and Roses and a North Texas Workshop by Flower Artist Nancy Medina


Birds and Roses
by Nancy Medina
16X12
Oil on Archival Panel



Birds and Roses is the newest small work in Flower Mound Studio, as I pack up the brushes, paints, palette and fresh flowers for my North Texas workshop this weekend. I have 13 students coming from across Louisiana and all parts of the Lone Star State, and I'm triple excited to bring in a batch of lovely new blossoms I found at Central Market *sound of harps* this afternoon. It is a little splurge to drive to Southlake, Texas, to sample the wares at Central Market *sound of harps* but they always have the best selection. I haven't decided yet if Little Bird is coming to class yet, we shall see what the muses say in the morning, if my mind isn't too distracted by the idea that I will be REQUIRED to pick up a few dozen fresh donuts from my undisclosed absolute best place to get donuts in Flower Mound, Texas, because this little donut shop DOUBLE GLAZES their donuts. No I'm sorry, please don't ask. I just cannot share this place, nor the address, nor nearby landmark hints. Otherwise I'd be standing in a line fourteen-gazillion miles long!





Birds and Roses - the studio models take a bow!

My Favorite Subjects- Suzy 'Pal' Powell

 These are sketches from my branding pictures.
I am still going through them and enjoying them all over again. I LOVE saddles, bridles, spurs, etc. so I have enjoyed doing these.
They are done with the Lexington Gray ink, with some Tombow marker.
The second saddle is just with the pen/ink.

The Fence Post at the bottom has some
'Elegant' Writer with water. That is where the color comes from.
The Elegant writer is for calligraphy, but it makes awesome shadows.

New Textured Oil Painting from New Mexico by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

Perserverance ©2013 Niki Gulley
48" x 36" • Textured oil painting on canvas

During one of our plein air painting workshops that we lead in Santa Fe, we chose this beautiful location near Georgia O'Keefe's home of Ghost Ranch. I loved the way the sun illuminated the rocky cliffs and the robust, fluffy clouds that drifted above us. Reaching for the sky, hopeful and steadfast, this one lone tree persevered despite the odds.

If you'd like more information on my contemporary landscape paintings, please e-mail Niki Gulley.

Summer Born Stargazers by Texas Flower Artist Nancy Medina


Summer Born Stargazers
by Nancy Medina
16X12
Oil on Archival Panel

 Summer Born Stargazers is the newest daily painting in Flower Mound Studio, and just a quick entry today since big thunderstorms are rolling across North Texas. The tornado sirens have not gone off in Flower Mound yet, but the largest storm cells are surrounding us on the West and North. What does one do when you have four little dogs in a tornado watch? You hunker down in the smallest bathroom in the house, with pillows, your cell phone, and a large bag of chips to keep everyone happy.



Summer Born Stargazer models take a little bow!
