"Group Hug" 18 x 36  oil on canvas $900.00 I just love this gaggle of yellow Day Lilies. I can't help but see the personalities of this tight knit bunch. They are all in a 'group hug' cheering each other on. The open yellow Lilies are encouraging the bright green young buds. As if saying to them, "it is okay to open your wings and feel the warm light of the sun on your faces". I think they all have a cheerful and joyful attitude sensing that it is great to be alive. It was a pleasure to paint this painting. I wanted to share with you the video below so you might also enjoy the process of creating an oil painting. Click here and see this painting come alive.

  Spring Sparkle Pink Geraniums by Nancy Medina 14X14 Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Purchase Information Videos France, Italy and the US - Flower Painting Workshops My Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Spring Sparkle Pink Geraniums was one of my recent class demonstrations and the flower models are already blooming happily on my sun porch, as part of my "paint the flower, plant the flower" recycling program. I'm leaving for Tennessee Friday for a full workshop near Nashville, but I have a confession to make. I am so excited about Tennessee and seeing all those friendly southern ladies, but Sonoma, California, is on my mind! Paint Brilliant Sonoma is coming up soon. Is it okay to be in love with two venues at the same time? Will Nashville begin saying awful things about Sonoma on its Facebook page if they discover I am practically seeing them both at the same time? Regardless, the evening wine tasting and hazy mornings over fl...

This is a study for my water lily series.  Now that I've done several highly detailed lily paintings to understand the forms, I can relax a little and go with a more intuitive approach.  I'm striving for an accurate, yet painterly finish...this is getting closer to my goal!

Wintry Mix White Florals by Nancy Medina Class Demonstration 16X12 Oil on Archival Panel Check out My New Video Here! Flower Painting Workshops My Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Sign Up for My Art Newsletter! We painted plein air in a beautiful garden with bougainvillea for the fourth day of my Florida workshop today in 80 degree weather and sunshine, with a little drenching by an unexpected sprinkler or two just to keep things interesting. I'll be sharing pictures of the fruit of our outdoor labors soon, but here are some images from our days in the studio painting first. We ended our week with four paintings, including sunflowers, roses, white hydrangeas, and bougainvillea in fuschia, peach and violet. It was wonderful to have fresh bougainvillea to paint, but watch out for those thorns, they're wicked! Giving that color some Florida fruit punch!

Bougainvillea and Daisy Duo by Nancy Medina Class Demonstration 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! . We painted bougainvillea and daisies in my Fort Lauderdale, Florida workshop this morning. What fun to paint with ladies from Utah, Canada, New Hampshire, Minnesota and across Florida today. We did not spot any gators, but we did see plenty of flowers blooming! It's always good to paint with palm trees swaying outside the classroom window, don't you agree? Get your beach shoes on, strum your ukelele, and stay tuned to my art bloggy , I'll be sharing even more pictures from sunny Florida with you this weekend! A peek at the studio models! Talented ladies and their daisy masterworks, perched beneath the palms!

Sunseeker Daisies by Nancy Medina 14X14 Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas  ~ Sold ~ Check out My New Video Here! Flower Painting Workshops My Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Sign Up for My Art Newsletter! . We are all seeking a little sunshine these days, and my studio daisies are no exception. The models are getting just a little brown around the edges, so I gave them a fresh drink of water and whispered sweet words to them about how spring was surely just around the corner and warm weather was just a day away! They posed for me, once again, and for that I am grateful. Here is my latest study for you. I posted Sunseeker Daisies one as I painted it, step by step, on my Facebook fan page, and it sold while still on the easel. Visit my art blog to see the painting in progress.

 Necessary Pinkness, Daisies and Delphiniums Demonstration Detail 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! . Necessary Pinkness was one of two demonstration paintings completed today in Flower Mound, Texas, thank you so much to all the friends who dropped by to say hello! It is always fun to produce a flower painting when you can walk over to an actual Flower Department a few feet away and replenish your fading models mid-painting! I had almost finished my first demo of the day, a hydrangea panorama, when it occurred to me some pink delphiniums sure would spice things up a bit. I just toodled on over to the flower department and there was a nice big bundle just waiting to be mine! Actually, it's probably a good thing I cannot just walk to a flower department any time I get t...

Valentine Red Tulips of the Dallas Arboretum is the newest painting in Flower Mound Studio, based on some of my favorite blossoms of the most beautiful gardens in North Texas. Today was the last day of my Valentine's workshop, where a dozen talented artists created colorful flowers and ended the event by creating romantic dresses. Visit my blog today for scenes from our 3-day workshop in North Texas. What a talented, fun bunch of artists. In addition to creating some beautiful dress paintings and florals, they did an exceptional job of helping me make donuts and chocolate disappear! Next stop, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, here I come! Feathers and satin - a party dress for my class demo!

Kiss Me Daisies by Nancy Medina 12X12 Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Purchase Information Flower Painting Workshops My Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Sign Up for My Art Newsletter! Kiss Me Daisies was painted on my birthday today, I still have bundles of bundles of beautiful fresh daisies adding cheer to my studio. They really needed to be painted again! I love daisies, they are the perfect flower for expressing loose impressionism. When I first began painting, I was trained, as most of us are, to paint very tightly, very realistically. Read more.... The shy models are hiding behind the canvas....

Violet Halo Hydrangeas by Nancy Medina 16X12 Oil on Archival Panel Purchase Information Flower Painting Workshops My Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Sign Up for My Art Newsletter! . Violet Halo Hydrangeas is one of my small dailies, starring my favorite vase, Big Blue. Big Blue has appeared in multiple paintings, with sunflowers, yellow roses, and white and blue hydrangeas. Next week I'll be creating a new large scale container garden of hydrangeas, with Big Blue playing a starring role. Considering I purchased him from Ebay for less than $15 with shipping, I'd say he has earned his keep in Flower Mound Studio!
