Flower Painting Workshops My Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Sign Up for My Art Newsletter! We painted daisies and peach and fuschia bougainvillea in my Fort Lauderdale, Florida, workshop last week. Ladies from New Hampshire, Ontario Canada, Utah, Virginia, New Jersey, Colorado, Michigan and all across Florida converged for palm trees, sunny skies and florals on canvas. Those of us not from Florida shook off the winter chill and put on our super fancy flip flops (the ones with the blingy accessories you can change according to what color your outfit is that day). The artist in particular made sure she got a peddy before embarking on this quest to the sunshine state! Stay tuned to my art blog for more paintings from class, coming up right here on the bloggy!

Daisy Duet   © 2013 Amy Hillenbrand 8 x 8 oil on 1" cradle board $135.00 About the Painting When I look at this little  painting, the little daisies come alive for me.  Here is what I see, these two little daisies have just finished a beautiful ballet. It is now time for them to take their bows.  The curtain has been raised after the first bow and now they are looking up into the box seats soaking in all the applause. The spotlight is focused right on them.  This photo was taken right before they take that second bow takes place.

Class demonstration Cup of Sunshine Daisies by Nancy Medina Copyright 2013  16X20 Oil on Archival Panel Purchase Information Flower Painting Workshops Nancy Medina Web Site Follow Me on Facebook  It was a banner day in the workshop classroom, with paint flying hither and yon, flashbulbs popping, and lots of giggling and visiting. I always love to step back and enjoy the chatter and excitement of a room full of ladies exchanging emails, places they love to visit, pictures of their kids and furbabies, and generally having a ball. Workshops, to me, are a gift you give yourself for all that you give to others. They are a place of peace, a place of healing, a place to rejuvenate and recharge and enjoy color and flowers.  We give so much of ourselves to our families, friends and jobs, it is good to once in a while give something back to ourselves. My workshops start each day with a large demonstration painting. In the afternoons, we work toge...

Daisy Daisy by Nancy Medina Class Demonstration 10X10 Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Purchase Information Flower Painting Workshops Nancy Medina Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Daisy Daisy is one of a few new paintings drying in Flower Mound Studio this evening. I've been on a painting binge since returning from my Mom's this afternoon. We are celebrating here in Flower Mound, as Cuties and Hydrangeas has been the cause of quite a bit of confetti in the studio this week. Thank you so very much to everyone who voted for the painting, it received first place for People's Choice for the BoldBrush Painting Competition for January, one day after I learned it had received first place in the Contemporary Fine Art International Elegance Juried Show. What a huge honor, especially considering the incredibly talented competition! Cuties and Hydrangeas 16X20 Oil on Archival Panel

Rise and Shine Oranges and Daisies by Nancy Medina 16X20 Oil on Archival Panel Purchase Information Flower Painting Workshops Nancy Medina Web Site I found bundles of daisies at the grocery store today, when I stopped in to buy lettuce for salad. This week the pickings in the floral department were slim, daisies, carnations, and the bargain bin filled with some very nice lilies. I could have selected the lilies, but I wanted to give these simple daisies a day in the spotlight. Take a bow daisies! The studio models take a dip and a bow!
