Good Day Sunshine Sunflowers by Nancy Medina Class Demonstration 16X20 Oil on Archival Panel Purchase Information Flower Painting Workshops Nancy Medina Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Good Day Sunshine Sunflowers was my class demonstration Saturday at the Dallas Arboretum, painted while it rained outside the classroom! Fortunately the big storm blew away quickly, so by the time class was over I was able to tiptoe around in the tulips and post more photos for you on my art blog. The azaleas are just opening up, the very brightly colored bushes behind the tulips, and the cherry blossoms were framing the sky along all the walkways.  Read more about my workshops here

Little Pinky Hydrangea by Nancy Medina SOLD 8X10 Oil on Archival Panel Purchase Information Flower Painting Workshops Nancy Medina Web Site Follow Me on Facebook My Dallas Arboretum students produced flowers in warm colors despite a chilly day in the gardens! The Easter egg hunt was postponed due to a rainstorm in the morning, but the clouds cleared and the sun peeked through just in time for our lunchtime break to see the gardens. Visit my art blog and join me for a photo tour of Dallas Arboretum Blooms Fest! My students painted pink hydrangeas and yellow sunflowers and the big bright classroom was all warmed up for us when we arrived, with a box of double glazed donuts and a pot of hot coffee. The Dallas Arboretum is one of my favorite places to teach in the whole world.

Ragdoll Red Tulip by Nancy Medina 8X10 Oil on Archival Panel Purchase Information Flower Painting Workshops Nancy Medina Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Ragdoll Red Tulip is the newest work on the easel, and I am counting the minutes until the tulips begin opening at the Dallas Arboretum for the Dallas Blooms Festival . I think the timing will be perfect, everything is scheduled to be in full bloom right after my last day at work next Thursday! The azaleas, daffodils, pansies, cherry blossoms, tulips, and scores of other plants will all be competing for the brightest color award. I think you and I should be the judge. Let's arrive early with our cameras, say around 10 am, get a few gazillion photos, and then have the Tower O' Desserts and High Tea in the tea room. We can nibble a sandwich or two just for show, and then polish off every pastry with gusto. Let's order two pots of that super delish fancy tea they serve, you know the kind where it comes...

Hearts Path Orange Tulips of the Dallas Arboretum by Nancy Medina 16X12 Textured Palette Knife/ Oil on Archival Panel Purchase Information Flower Painting Workshops Nancy Medina Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Hearts Path Orange Tulips celebrates the countdown to the Dallas Blooms Festival - the best time of year to visit the gardens of the Dallas Arboretum, when the tulips are in full bloom. The cherry blossoms, azaleas, daffodils, pansies, and dozens of other flowers were just about to burst forth when I visited on Sunday. I wanted to create something loose, bright and very full of color to mark the end of winter. I can hardly wait to visit again in March, with my camera in hand, and my comfy walking shoes on! Join me, and let's have lunch at the tea room. We'll order one of those towers of desserts, while we're at it!
