 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...

Storm Horizon Peonies by Nancy Medina 24X24 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!  I finally got a good photo of my new painting, Storm Horizon Peonies. It's hard to photograph the large ones without good natural lighting. I went canvas shopping today, it's the best canvas sale of the year at Aaron Brothers here in North Texas, buy one get 2 free. This sale puts their buy one, get one for a penny sale - to shame! So I stocked up with about $400 worth! I put my Audible book on tape (Mr. Churchill's Secretary, an excellent mystery) on and gessoed canvases all day long today. Bliss! Detail from Storm Horizon

Flower Painting Workshops My Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Sign Up for My Art Newsletter! I bought these big ole white hydrangeas for my class in Louisiana last week and they are still looking fresh. Because they were in pots of soil, I was able to plant all of them in my garden yesterday before the rain paid us a visit here in Flower Mound today.

Framed in Violet Sunflowers Class Demonstration 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! Framed in Violet Sunflowers was one of my class demonstrations during an afternoon paint-along session in my Fort Lauderdale, Florida workshop last week. There was a plethora of gorgeous sunflower paintings by the end of the day, and no shortage of fuschia and violet bougainvillea to add some punch to all those golden yellows. I love walking into a workshop first thing in the morning and being blown away by the paintings arrayed on easels throughout the room. Painting loose, painting from life, everyone's paintings are completely, uniquely their own individual creations. Just like people, every flower Mother Nature creates is completely different. Visit my art blog to s...

Born to Be Wild 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! 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! Wild l...

  Teal Blue Dream Dress by Nancy Medina 16X12 Oil on Archival Panel Purchase Information From my new art couture line Fashion and Figure! Check out My New Video Here! Flower Painting Workshops My Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Sign Up for My Art Newsletter! . There is nothing like a fluffy skirt to make a girl feel dreamy, don't you agree? I've been infatuated with these dress paintings, thinking of them all day long, divining in my mind the idea, back view, front view? wedding dress? brunette? red head??? By the time the palette is set out, colors mixed, and raw canvas is propped before me, I've tied myself into little art couture fits and can hardly wait to get started. Painting each day is my reward, and I'm so very fortunate to have this calling. My studio day ended on a banner note, when I received a message from David Marine of Daily Paintworks notifying me that White Rose Rebellion placed secon...

Cottage Path Geraniums by Nancy Medina 16X12 Oil on Archival Panel Flower Painting Workshops My Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Sign Up for My Art Newsletter! Today was the first day of my first California flower painting workshop, and we started off with a bang! The hubby brought everyone gourmet donuts from the Donut Bar, giving us just enough sugar charge to tackle delphiniums and white zinnias. With 17 students from Canada, New Mexico, Washington, California, and Texas, we had tons of awesome space in our San Diego studio located in the heart of historic Balboa Park. I'm easily distracted by donuts, and totally forgot to get a photo of my demo today, so I'll be sharing that with you tomorrow. Painting delphiniums in San Diego, California!
