Hill Country Sunflowers and Roses and a New Container Garden by Texas Flower Artist Nancy Medina

Fredericksburg, Texas, class demo

Oil on Linen Board


Hill Country Sunflowers and Roses was my demo painting for my students during my Texas Hill Country workshop this past weekend. The Fredericksburg, Texas grocery store always has a top notch selection of flowers, so we painted quite a variety of blossoms from the studio school on the resort overlooking log cabins and trees for miles around. It was like a slice of heaven right outside the door!
My next workshop is on July 21 in Dallas and is already full with a waiting list, so it looks like I'll have to make the sacrifice and go shopping at Central Market *sound of harps* for scads of gorgeous blossoms again this week! 

Take a peek at my art blog to see a preview of my newest container garden which is almost finished. I thought it only fitting you should also see the little four footed furry obstacles who like to plant themselves squarely in front of my easel. It wouldn't be art if it wasn't challenging to reach the canvas, right?
