Lipstick Red Poppies by Texas Flower Artist Nancy Medina


Lipstick Red Poppies
10X10
Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas


My poppy obsession blossoms as work continues on a large Italian landscape commission - one of those wonderful, lovely assignments where the client has faith in me and cheers me on every step of the way! I've been thinking a lot lately about the balance between my day job as a magazine editor and my night job in the studio as an artist, and my weekend job as an art instructor, and how the balance becomes more precarious with time, and I guard my time in the studio jealously. 

If I were single, I would be one of those people who forgets to eat and uses dish soap in the shower because buying shower soap is so far down my list of priorities. I would live on bags of potato chips and M&Ms, and would forget to change my jeans into something without paint spatters on those rare occasions when I went out in public. Are you one of those folks who has found yourself in this race? What on earth triggers such a thing, I wonder? One thing I do know, it is a wonderful journey!
