Violet Fire Sunflower and a Louisiana Workshop - Flower Painting Classes and Workshops by Nancy Medina Art

http://www.nancymedina.com/available-paintings/violet-flight-sunflower

 Violet Fire Sunflower
by Nancy Medina
14X14
Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas


Violet Fire Sunflower is a bright rendition of one of my favorite bloomers - sunflowers! I grew up on an organic farm in East Texas, and sunflowers were planted throughout my parents' gardens to help attract insects off the vegetable crops. I remember standing barefoot in the cool soil, gazing up at the faces of giant sunflowers. They are such a quintessential summertime flower!

I'm just home and unpacking from three days in Louisiana, sharing painting time, prizes, fresh flowers and no shortage of giggles with some lovely ladies from Alabama, Texas, Georgia, Arkansas and Louisiana. You can see Next stop is Fredericksburg, Texas. If we're lucky, the wildflowers will be starting to bloom - see you soon in the Hill Country! Read more...

Lavender at First Sight

Palette Knife/Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas



Lavender at First Sight is the newest painting in Flower Mound Studio, I'm warming up my brushes for Tuscany in June. Pink clouds and cerulean skies seem absolutely appropriate for purple fields, don't you agree? One thing is for certain, I can never resist color....and chocolate.... You are invited to join me for a painting dream getaway June 6-13, to visit the Chianti region and tour some of the most beautiful villages of Italy. Prepare to be pampered in poppy fields in full bloom! Read more...

Beyond the Storm Iris Garden - Flower Painting Workshops and Classes by Nancy Medina Art

Beyond the Storm Iris Garden
by Nancy Medina
16X16
Palette Knife/Oil on Deep Gallery Wrap Canvas






I could not resist the urge to go super thick with color on Beyond the Storm Iris Garden. This painting is dedicated to those who are facing adversity, a loved one in hospital, a fear that a job will not be there tomorrow, a scary medical diagnosis. Three people I care about very deeply are facing each of these scenarios. As a friend, all we can do is be there for those we love, in these tough situations. And so I am there. With love and support to my dear friends. Someday, there will be a time when the storm is behind you. And I'll still be there beside you.

Blue Breeze Daisies - Flower Painting Classes and Workshops by Nancy Medina Art

Blue Breeze Daisies

Blue Breeze Daisies is the daily newbie in Flower Mound Studio - try saying that three times fast, at midnight, after painting until midnight for six nights in a row! Not that I'm complaining, I love my job. And it seems the muses really do prance about at their colorful best at midnight, now why is that I wonder? I often wonder if my normal friends wonder what it is that motivates an artist to quit her "real job" to paint and dabble all day. What on earth does a "real" artist do with all those oodles and oodles of free time? Read more...

Pink Rose Rhapsody

Pink Rose Rhapsody is the daily newbie in Flower Mound Studio. I do believe the pugs have finally become accustomed to the Mom Works from Home Scenario. It took longer for me, however, but finally I have learned some important tips about having my own dream job. I have more time to drink my tea in the mornings. I can stay up painting until midnight without worrying one bit about what my coworkers will think about my puffy eyes. I had my first conference call this morning in my bathrobe. I take more breaks. I work longer hours, and love every single moment I am doing so. Instead of hearing the clock ticking in my subconscious, I know that time is now mine to mold and stretch into anything I need it to be. I am very thankful to be...an artist!

 Winter White Tulips

I was rushing a bit to finish this painting, as my studio models were dipping, bowing, and few were actually fainting in the midst of their posing session. I offered them a glass of fresh water, fanned them and told them they looked stunningly beautiful under the bright lights, but, alas, some of them simply had no stamina. This is what happens when you starve yourself, living only on saltines and cashews, I told them quite sternly. I'll be curious to see if any of them get rest tonight, you know how models are, out partying all night with all the other beautiful flowers while the rest of us sit home on the couch watching Championship Jeopardy re-runs...

I felt a little blue leaving behind the 80 degree Florida weather, but it sure is nice to be back home wit the puggies and the hubby! A huge thanks to my wonderful workshop host, Ann Card, this intrepid lady drove me hither and yon and discovered the mother lode of flower shops to boot. I still haven't quite unpacked, and it's time to get ready for my Valentine's party-French painting workshop in February. You are invited, I'm going to have some fun gifts for all the students, and maybe that cute Frenchman will come by and serve us lunch again and wear his beret and say oo la la!

Heat Wave Sunflowers was my class demonstration today in sunny Florida. The day started out a bit chilly, but we hit the 80 degree mark by afternoon. I don't mean to rub it in, but at one point I had to turn up the air conditioning just a bit. I'm always a bit sad on the last day of class, telling friends goodbye and telling that ultra giant box of chocolates goodbye, can you blame me if I cried just a little bit? Tomorrow it's back home to the boss, Studio Director AnnieBee, and her minions, and the hubby who said he has missed me. It's good to be loved. I hope your family, friends and little four footed babies are nearby and keeping you warm today, where-ever you may be!

Friendly Hotel Alligators and Rainwater Roses in Sunny Florida - Flower Paintings by Nancy Medina Art

Rainwater Roses and Strawberries

Class Demonstration

When I saw the little boy hopping up and down at 7 am this morning in my hotel lobby and pointing, I thought maybe he really liked the koi pond here at the Gaylord Palms. Imagine my surprise when I saw what he was really excited about - the resident gators! Fortunately these leathery little guys didn't seem too interested in climbing through the iron bars to munch on the tourists and they even ignored their lazy turtle neighbors. Excuse me, Mister Bellman, there's an alligator in my room.... Note to self, if you hear scuffling on the carpet outside your door, do NOT open the door without your running shoes on.

We painted roses until the seagulls came home in sunny Florida today. Tomorrow we tackle sunflowers and, if they cooperate and open a bit more, some tulips, too!

Dreams of Summer Hydrangeas

Class Demonstration

We hit the flower jackpot in Florida yesterday, my hostess with the most-ess Ann drove me to a warehouse of fresh flowers as soon as I landed in the sunshine state yesterday. On top of that, she failed to restrain me in any way, shape, or fashion, as I tossed fresh peonies, hydrangeas, Japanese iris, daisies, delphiniums, and all sorts of other colorful plants onto our my shopping cart. Oh, and a few new vases, too, (because one can never have too many sparkley vases....).  Today we painted hydrangeas until the seagulls came home, and tomorrow we're going to warm up our pink brushs with some lovely roses and peonies. I do so appreciate my flower models. They don't fidget, they don't complain about the bright lights, they don't eat much and never, ever show up for a shoot after partying all night with bags under their eyes.  Read more....

The brushes are all packed for sunny Florida - I'm not quite sure how my freezing toes will react when the arrive in the sunshine state tomorrow - I'm told it's a brisk 50-ish degrees there. I seem to remember 50 degrees, vaguely, but it's a distant memory right now in freezing Texas! I was finishing up edgework on my newest French Village scene, and thought it would be fun to cut some slices or vignettes out of the overall composition, making little mini-paintings. All that's missing are the fluffy little French sheep!

Here are a few different scenes - enjoy! Stay tuned for photos from my Florida workshop this week, I'll try not to bombard you with too many beach scenes, and if I drink anything out of a coconut, I promise to save some for you!

French Village Lavender and Sunflowers is the newest painting in Flower Mound Studio, as the pug helpers lay about. I believe they are on strike, although they cannot hold up signs. It's more of a snoring laying about kind of strike. They don't seem the least bit excited about my big news today - I'm teaching my first workshop in Arkansas and you are cordially invited! *confetti!!* I'll be teaching in Hot Springs, a place I've always wanted to visit. Even better, it will not be in winter when I'm there. Here's a bit more info below. In the meantime, I have to wake up my snoring helpers and tuck them into bed. Sweet dreams flower friends!

The cold weather has truly arrived, so the pugs are piled atop one another around the easel, all in the same bed, despite there being four perfectly good beds available. I'm imagining you're on a beach right now, with a palm tree swaying nearby. Don't forget your sunscreen, for heaven's sake!

Thank you so much for all the kind notes about my Mom, she is doing a little better today. I talked to her on the phone and she told me "They got me a photo quilt!" I said, "I know!" Her appetite has picked up, also, which is a relief. Carlos made her a big pot of navy beans with ham and we bought her a can of her favorite cheese popcorn (Garrett's!) so I'm hoping she'll still have a great appetite when I visit her next week. How lucky I am to still have my Mama to hug!!!

Blooming Radishes and Hydrangeas and an International Art Affair - Nancy Medina Art Workshops

Class Demonstration

Oil on Archival Panel




 California Blooming Radishes and Hydrangeas was my class demonstration in historic Balboa Park this weekend. I was tickled pink to find the roses were in bloom on Coronado Island, when we visited my favorite cottage garden there after class. This talented group of painters included the largest collection of international students I've ever had in a class. The traveled furthest award went to six students from Singapore, Australia, and Canada, though one of the ladies from Orange County California was pretty certain her commute that morning took longer than a flight from Sydney. We also had painters from Michigan, Alabama, Arizona, New York, Idaho, and across California swinging brushes and making bright color happen. My next California workshop is going to be in....*sound of harps* Sonoma, California! That spring class in one of the most beautiful wine destinations in the US is filling fast so don't delay, I'm reserving a grape with your name on it mon cher! Read more...

I'm super excited about my first Sonoma, California workshop in the spring, we'll be painting brilliant florals, and also be dipping into some fun silk scarf painting projects. You are invited to join me, but don't delay, class is filling super fast! I can't imagine a more beautiful place on the West Coast to paint in the spring, I'm already picturing sunrises over the vineyards, rolling hills, and yards and yards of silk covered in bright flowers! I need to calm down and go eat some chocolate or something...
