Spring Geranium Bouquet by Nancy Medina 24X18 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 Spring Geranium Garden was one of my class demonstrations this weekend in my Spring, Texas workshop, in The Woodlands area just north of Houston. We painted yellow tulips, red geraniums and tomorrow, white hydrangeas and purple larkspur, all from fresh flowers.

How to make the transition from photos to life is one of the things I share with my students.

Bonjour flower friends, and tomorrow we travel to Cahors, another river valley medieval village. I will save a creme brulee gelato for you! ...
