Peonies on Teal by Nancy Medina 24X24 Oil on Deep Gallery Wrap Canvas Purchase Information Videos France, Italy and the US - Flower Painting Workshops My Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Sign Up for My Art Newsletter The pug-mobile is packed with goodies for my French Painting Workshop in Dallas this week, and tomorrow I'll be setting up for the three day event. I picked up a fresh batch of pink and white peonies today, so I'm thinking positive thoughts that they'll be completely open and fluffy for us to paint. I'm waiting until the last minute to pick up the French pastries so they'll be fresh. Okay, honestly, if I pick them up early, I'll just eat them all, and that would be really sad so I have to wait until the last minute to pick them up so there will be some left for the students. Stay tuned to the art bloggy for pictures of all the fun and some super cool prizes - oo la la! Will t...

  The Sisterhood Peonies and Limes by Nancy Medina 20X16 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!  The Sisterhood Peonies was my class demonstration this morning in North Texas. Finding fresh peonies for class was like winning the lotto! Okay, well, like winning a $500 scratchoff ticket for sure...they are so rare here. We have a fun group, with gals from Oklahoma and Texas, and a gentleman from North Texas joining us, too. There's never a dull moment, we had spilled drinks, locked bathrooms, and one student who discovered she brought makeup brushes to class instead of paint brushes. Oh my! Tomorrow we have blue violet hydrangeas and white tulips to choose from. Decisions, decisions! Stay tuned to my art blog to find out what we paint next.... One of the m...

Color Connection Hydrangeas by Nancy Medina 14X14 Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Purchase Information Check out My New Video Here! Flower Painting Workshops My Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Sign Up for My Art Newsletter! Color Connection is the newest daily painting in Flower Mound Studio, it's so good to be home after back to back trips. I'll be sending out a big announcement via the newsletter Thursday, so be sure to sign up if you haven't already. I also have a new FREE video I made for you while flying home from New Orleans this week. I've discovered sitting on a plane is about the only time I can dedicate uninterrupted time to editing videos. Since we are all waiting with bated breath for my DVD lessons to launch (I'm being patient, I swear I am, my videographer is wonderful and she has a new baby, after all, the best reason on earth not to rush your videographer....), it...

 Life's Peachy White Daisies by Nancy Medina 12X12 Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Purchase Information Check out My New Video Here! Flower Painting Workshops My Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Sign Up for My Art Newsletter! Life's Peachy White Daisies was just about dry by the time I arrived home from my New Orleans visit - I had the great good fortune to be the guest of Sylvia Arb, a lovely artist and teacher, a history buff, and an amazing hostess to boot. She took me to one of the grandest plantations in Louisiana, The Sugar Palace, also known as Houmas House. Seems only appropriate I should visit that one first, don't you think, especially since we capped it off in their restaurant with chocolate creme brulee...! I've shared some photos especially for you - put on your hoop skirt, bring your lacy fan and join me on the art blog today to see the tour! Flowers in the st...

I'll be posting registration information in the next few days on my Web site workshop page , so don your beret, slice up some fromage, and get your workshop scheduler handy because spots in class will be first come, first serve, for a small group with plenty of one on one time. We will be staying at the absolute best place to paint in France, we will be eating yummy French food made by a chef, and we will be pampered and ad...

Joyful Blooms Orange Ranunculus by Nancy Medina Video Demonstration  20X16 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! Joyful Blooms Orange Ranunculus was my video demonstration this week. Why did I schedule this exactly one day after my largest outdoor art show of the year? Good question! Thanks a million to Christina for being our gracious hostess, and especially for making the film crew and I lemon bars and gourmet snacks. I made sure to wear my extra fancy shoes for film day, as you can see, and thanks to Christina and a little stuffed dog she wiggled at me in the background every now and then, I managed to grin quite a bit more than the last 2 filming sessions. I won't mention the fact that I left my entire toolkit at home on the chair by the front door,...
