Lacy Ladies Sunflowers and Daisies by Nancy Medina Rockwall Art League Demonstration 16X20 Oil on Archival Panel Purchase Information Flower Painting Workshops Nancy Medina Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Lacy Ladies Sunflower and Daisies was my demonstration yesterday evening for the Rockwall Art League in Rockwall, Texas, a lovely little town on the lake that has grown by leaps and bounds since long ago when I worked for one of the small newspapers in that area! It was tons of fun to return to my old stomping grounds and visit with a group of enthusiastic artists, right next to a park.  Just before the painting festivities began, guess who ran in the door, wagging his tail and looking all fat and jiggley and happy? Webster the Pug! He and his servant were on the way to his car and decided to stop in and check out the refreshment table. This was definitely a sign that the evening would be grand and lots of fun! Betty Jean Hoaglund did a marvel...

Park Path  © 8x10 inches  Oil George De Chiara Click here to bid. With our good weather still holding out, I headed out again today to do some painting outside. Today I ventured down to a little nature area not far from our home. This scene was one of the first that I considered painting for the day, but I wanted to make sure I gave all my old spots a good look too. I haven't been there since last summer and I wanted to spent some time walking around to see what's changed. After checking things out for about a half hour...Read more on y blog here . www.georgedechiara.com

 Dream a Dream Sunflowers by Nancy Medina SOLD 11X14 Oil on Linen Panel Purchase Information Flower Painting Workshops Nancy Medina Web Site Follow Me on Facebook I am still waking up each morning, 2 weeks after quitting my 6-figure corporate job, living a life in between. Between the time when I should have put on my office clothes, braved the Dallas traffic, and spent my day in a glass building and instead am now waking up with snoring pugs curled around me, the sunshine streaming in, and knowing that my day will be filled with art, packing and shipping paintings, ordering paints, cleaning brushes, and moving through a life filled with color.  I'm walking into the wilds away from the corporate jungle,  with my eyes wide open, and hoping for the best. I remember the moment when I was a senior in high school, when my parents asked me what I really wanted to be when I grew up. I told them I wanted to be an artist. We were standing ou...

Once Underwater   © 8x10 inches  Oil George De Chiara Click here to bid. One of the last times I went out painting, I noticed this scene not far from where I set up for the day.  I had intended to go back and paint it, but then our weather turned cold and cloudy and just like that, it felt like we were back in winter. Luckily, this is Texas and winter weather this late in the year doesn't stand a chance in sticking around. Today we got back on track with spring weather, so I packed up my gear and headed back to the lake. It was a very windy day and the water never settled down, making it a real challenge to paint. Still, it was nice to get our of the studio for a little while and soak up some sunshine! It looks like this weather is here to stay this time, so I'm looking forward to getting out more. I'm going to have to re-photograph this one in a day or two. This image has a lot of glare on it.   www.georgedechiara.com

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

On The Rocks  ©   8x8 inches  Oil George De Chiara Click here to bid.   It never ceases to amaze me how much I learn when I paint water and rocks. There's something about the abstract patterns in the way the water washes over the rocks that forces me to stretch myself. I think this is because this is one of the few subjects where I don't think about what it is I'm painting and just paint the shapes that I see. Now I try that with everything I paint, but for what ever reason, with water it's easier for me to do this.  I guess that's why this is one of my favorite subjects to paint. www.georgedechiara.com

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. I am happy to report not a single delectable donut went to waste and there were many smiles as the ladies packed up their easels at the end of the day, taking home at least two new pai...

Struttin'   ©   8x8 inches  Oil George De Chiara Click here to bid. We had lots of sun today, but not much warmth, so I decided to grab my camera and head down to one of the local lakes around the house. I knew that even with the cold weather, we'd still have plenty of ducks and water fowl hanging around. When I got to the lake, just about all the ducks where sitting on the shore line sleeping or trying to stay warm. These ducks are all very used to getting bread and oats from most of the visitors coming to this lake, so as soon as I crouched down to take a few pictures this duck came walking over to get his bread. When he figured out that I didn't have any, he turned and walked away. This must have tipped off the other ducks because even though it was cold in the water, most of them started heading in. I guess they thought the camera couldn't get them in the water. I noticed as soon as I left, they all started to head back on to land. www.georgedechiara.com ...

"Spring's Kaleidoscope," Texas Hill Country  ©2013 Niki Gulley 24" x 12" textured oil painting I painted these Texas bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrush and Coreopsis with extremely thick oil paint and palette knives to achieve depth and texture. The resulting image comes to life and is loaded with color and energy.
