Wild Red Roses 16" x 20" oil on linen I've recently noticed a new climbing rose by my mailbox that has red roses blooming by the dozens. This particular rose bush was a pleasant surprise, because I never planted it - I love surprises! Here is a photo of Wild Red Roses in progress in my studio: I love to share my art and inspiration.

Keepsake 12" x 9" SOLD A romantic collector purchased  Keepsake  this week as a gift for his lucky wife of 38 years.  He shared with me that upon opening the box, she cried - in a good way!  I was very touched by this story.  Recently another collector gifted his wife a painting of red roses,  Be Mine , and he also shared the wonderful "reveal" story with me.  Art has a special way of touching others which is so exciting to experience from my perspective, as the artist.  Art, love and roses...a beautiful combination!

Plein Air Painting in July I love to share my art and inspiration. Click  HERE  to sign up for my email newsletter and receive a free gift of postcards. Follow me on Facebook. I was happy to have such beautiful weather this past week so I could get outside to do some painting. This is a piece done en plein air of some red Knockout roses in my backyard garden. It takes until around 11 am for the sun to hit this rose bush, which made for a pretty hot painting session. I had to work fast to catch the right light, but that is the beauty of plein air painting - limited time forces you to focus on what is important to express your idea.

Be Mine 9" x 12" oil on linen SOLD Be Mine was purchased as a surprise Valentine's Day gift this year for the sweetheart of one of my collectors. So fun for my art to be a part of the joy! I hope you have a Happy Valentine's Day! I love to share my art and inspiration. Click HERE to sign up for my email newsletter and receive a free gift of postcards. Follow me on Facebook.

A Rose Is a Rose by Nancy Medina 6X8 Oil on Linen Board Available in My Daily Painters Gallery Nancy Medina Web Site Nancy Medina Art Blog A Rose Is a Rose is another step forward in the rose journey that has been under way for a few months in Flower Mound Studio. What to name a red rose in a red pot? Rose on rose came to mind, and then Shakespeare was the next logical thought. I chose journalism as my professional trade as soon as I finished college, but my love of books and words came much earlier. My mother used to read stories to my sisters and I and all of our friends every day at naptime. I remember seeing her in the rocking chair with my baby sister Jackie in her arms, and a book propped in her lap. She read quietly, and confidently, and she gave every word the ability to pull me into another place. Mom is still in the hospital this week. Each small step in her recovery from pneumonia is cheered and measured by whether she ate today, how much, did she want to sit up, and did she...
