Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

I love exaggerating the colors of the objects I paint but in this painting I tried to calm them down. I wanted to express the feeling of rest after going through a “storm”. The inspiration for this was an area in Houston that had been under water. As the water was receding and the clouds clearing the birds found food and in the stillness a beautiful glow of warm light blanketed the area. The light transformed the darkness and revealed the softened harmony of the landscape that was still standing after the crisis. The area was changed but I loved looking at the surviving trees and reflecting on how we weather storms and gather strength as the Light covers us and leads us through. Take a moment to look around and be inspired! 24"x18"x1.5" Mixed Media on Canvas/Available Click HERE for purchase info.

Bye, Bye, Birdie 8" x 8" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel Contemporary Abstract Palette Knife Painting Yesterday I was playing around with some left-over paints and I wanted use my favorite palette knife (#24).  I had plenty of hot pinks, reds, cad orange, and cad yellow to start with.  There are three shades of Gamblin's Portland Greys....light, medium and dark....so had those to mix with some blues and violets for the birds.  I used some impasto for the thick applications so that it would dry faster.  This little 8" x 8" is my first birdie palette knife painting.  It was fun!  I had a great day yesterday, selling two paintings.  Contact  ME  for purchasing information.  This little panel would look great propped up on an easel.  This is day #8 of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge.  Thanks, Kay

Scarlet Admirer, Peony and Cardinal by Nancy Medina SOLD 16X12 Oil on Archival Panel Purchase Information Check out My New Video Here! Flower Painting Workshops My Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Sign Up for My Art Newsletter! . Scarlet Admirer is the newest daily painting in Flower Mound Studio, and the fresh peonies have decided to stay with me a few more days. I wanted to create something a bit whimsical and festive for the holidays, and the cardinals in our yard this morning inspired this new work. These are those last few days with the Christmas tree still up, the decorations still on the shelves, and the white poinsettias still in the kitchen nook. I am always just a little sad when it's time to put away these holiday mementos. Christmas always ends too soon.
