Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

Intermezzo Poppy Solo by Nancy Medina 6X8 Oil on Linen Board Purchase Information Nancy Medina Web Site Intermezzo Poppy Solo is a new study in the studio today. I wanted to see if I could produce the variation in color using just a few pigments and one large brush - especially because red can be so darn hard to photograph. Usually when I finish a painting, I take a photo of it and look at it on the viewfinder. Then I put the camera away, and correct all the little things I thought needed adjusting in the viewfinder. Looking at the painting through the camera lens, and then the image the camera produces on the small screen, always helps me see things I've missed, or areas that could do with some boosting or brighter color. Time to wash up the brushes now and get ready for Pugapalooza for DFW Pug Rescue. We have a big day ahead. Studio director Annie's got a bonnet contest to enter...!

Summer Sun Poppies by Nancy Medina 18X18 Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Purchase Information Nancy Medina Web Site Summer Sun Poppies is the newest painting in the studio, as I finish up edges on commissions and package paintings to ship to clients in Pennsylvania and Texas. I received an email this week from a woman who lives in Mexico who wants to drive up to Fredericksburg, Texas , to take my workshop. She does not speak English, and she asked if she could bring an interpreter with her to assist. This is perfectly okay, of course, and I sure hope she makes the trip, even though she had noted that this would be a big step for her to come to the US to take the class. With the blessing of the art school owner, I sent her a note telling her she and the interpreter would both be welcome if they can come. I'll let you know if she makes it to my class!
