Daisies are done with oils and on a gallery wrap canvas. I used lots of bright colors and some textures.   Perfect for that special place in your home.

 On the Brink of Pink Daisies is the newest small study in Flower Mound Studio, as I finish up a few large works for Artscape at the Dallas Arboretum, coming up so quick it makes my head spin! I had fun with On the Brink of Pink, pushing the color envelope and saving the fattest application of paint for the last. Tomorrow I begin another large container garden, so painting small feels just a bit like a pink vacation today!

We painted daisies and luscious bright pink and peach bougainvillea in my Florida class on Day 1, and spent part of that time trying to figure out what the plural of bougainvillea was/is/could be. When we weren't discussing grammar, we mixed warm and cool purples, and talked about the value of glazing over opaques, and the cool way you can make colorful jewel tones glow in your florals. On Day 2, we painted sunflowers. There's a sneak peek at Bobbi's gorgeous sunflower, a teaser for my post tomorrow so stay tuned to my art blog!

BEAUTY QUEEN BY ARTIST PAT MEYER

8 X 10 OIL ON LINEN

PAT@MEYER.NET

Many people voted for what flower they wanted to see in the New Year and a white rose with pink petals was a top contender.  So here she is making her first appearance as a Beauty Queen.  She feels that she has shown up her yellow rose friend and daisy buddy to be the star of the show.  Painting things beautifully is one of my goals for the new year.

Daisy Daisy is one of a few new paintings drying in Flower Mound Studio this evening. I've been on a painting binge since returning from my Mom's this afternoon. We are celebrating here in Flower Mound, as Cuties and Hydrangeas has been the cause of quite a bit of confetti in the studio this week. Thank you so very much to everyone who voted for the painting, it received first place for People's Choice for the BoldBrush Painting Competition for January, one day after I learned it had received first place in the Contemporary Fine Art International Elegance Juried Show. What a huge honor, especially considering the incredibly talented competition!

Sunflower Simpatico was one of six demonstration paintings this weekend for my 3-day workshop in North Texas. I will have such fond memories of this fun group of ladies, we did do quite a bit of giggling and donut sampling and had a selection of coffees to keep us on our toes. We also managed to cover quite the spectrum of flowers, the sunflowers standing out in particular, since I managed to put a nice fat streak of cadmium yellow in my hair in the middle of class. Using a Clorox wipe to remove the yellow paint was maybe not the best decision, in hindsight.

Take a peek at my art blog to see photos of paintings by several of my students. Thanks so much to the 15 talented gals who joined me to paint roses, poppies, sunflowers, daisies and more! I hope you'll join me for my next workshop in April, and if you happen to be a hairdresser AND an artist, I will be especially eager to welcome you!

Color Wash Sunflowers and Daisies is a new painting in the studio, on a quiet evening at the end of a very busy week. This weekend is the first in a long time that I have no obligations, classes, appointments, or trips and so it will be me, the hubby and four pugs working in the yard, relaxing at home. Sometimes I absolutely yearn for boredom. I hope you have something fun on the agenda, not too taxing, and with just the right amount of delicious lassitude mixed in.

Room to Grow Daisies and Sunflowers is a fun little painting completed in the studio with the help of a few of my friends on Facebook today. I love posting the beginning of the painting on my Facebook fan page, and asking folks what kind of flower they think I should paint. Sometimes I get some really great ideas that never even occurred to me! I always post the end result so join me there sometime to see a painting from start to finish!

Only 2 Spots Left - June 23 Sunflower Workshop!

Blissfully Content Sunflowers and Lazy Daisies was finished around 2 am, three hours before it was time to get up and go to the office and start the day job. Sometimes when I get in the zone, I simply cannot stop - and the white gerbera daisies were looking so cute and fresh and producing all kinds of interesting golden and green shadow tones. When the paint starts flowing like that, I hate to walk away. Sometimes I wake up the next morning and the muse has been muted! Speaking of the zone, there is no place more divine to paint than the Dallas Arboretum, and I'm excited to be heading there to teach again on Saturday to a full class! For everyone who will be joining me June 9, be prepared - I found a new donut shop that makes the BEST glazed I've ever tasted!

For those waiting for an update on the release of my first sunflower video, hubby finished the downloading and is working on the editing now! Because you've been so patient and been so kind not to mention my recent sunflower obsession, there is another step by step sunflower demo on my art blog today for you. Enjoy!

Dinner Date Daisies and Sunflowers is the newest flower painting in the studio, and was painted while the hubby filmed! He was a real champ, zooming in and out, waiting quietly and patiently for hours while I dibbled and dabbled and talked. There were about 3 seconds when I forgot the camera was even rolling! Over the next few days Carlos is going to do the "film edit" and work on the release of my first painting video - exciting stuff! But then, the question I Must ask you - will you be bothered if you can hear a pug snoring in the background of my video? I just didn't have the heart to boot Howie off of the set. He looked so darn comfy on his new Kong ultra soft mattress, lying squarely with his bottom facing the fan and his chin propped on the bolster pillow (only the BEST for my uber spoiled pugs...). I've shared some pictures of the painting step by step on my art blog today, and the big day in the studio under the bright lights! 

The models take a bow!

Dance by the Light Sunflowers and Daisies is the newest painting in Flower Mound Studio, and was named for the late, late hour last night that I worked on this painting. I promise I was not dancing at 2 am when I washed my brushes. You do not want to see me dancing. My sister Julie does all the dancing in our family.

I had been saving this 20X24 New Traditions Art Panel for something special, and when I put together my arrangement of white and red daisies (with a few sunflowers sprinkled in) I loved the color combo and decided it was time to paint on the expensive canvas! So I gathered up my courage and told myself as I put the precious canvas on my easel - okay, if I mess this up, worst case scenario, I just buy another expensive canvas!

The helpers are sound asleep here in the studio, after a busy day of taking Hannah to the vet for her first official checkup as a Medina pug clan member. She passed with flying colors, so we had to celebrate by getting her a new collar, harness and leash, all a matching ensemble, of course. We also ordered her a new puppia soft, breathable harness. I love those things, they are so cute, and much more comfortable than a traditional harness for the little puggies. I hope wherever you are, you too had a banner weekend!

Smiles and Daisies is drying on the easel as I peruse the interesting classes being offered in Fredericksburg this winter. Shall I paint pet portraits? Learn to paint out of doors in frigid temps? Pay a model fee - wait, a model fee?? This is why I love flowers. They don't wiggle. They don't have to remove piercings before each sitting. The little daisies who posed for this painting were $2.50 a bundle at the Piggley Wiggley this afternoon. Give them a little water and they're happy. One of them even laid next to the paint, reclining beautifully upon command and sitting perfectly still for hours. Visit my blog to meet my lovely models. I do wish, though, they would last all winter!
