Summer Rain Pink Roses is the newest daily painting in Flower Mound Studio, as I pack up paint and brushes for a demonstration for the Trinity Arts Guild in Bedford, Texas this week for their final meeting before summer break. This is a weekend for graduations and celebrations, and I admit I'm a bit excited knowing this will be my first summer as a full-time artist and art teacher. I'll have some exciting announcements in my art newsletter this week with workshops coming up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and San Diego, California, so stay tuned for all the flower news fit to print!

Wildseed Sunflowers was my class demonstration for my workshop in the Texas Hill Country last weekend. One day at lunch, the ladies and I paid a visit to Wildseed Farms, where there were fields of poppies that required my attention!  

Great news! A few seats are open Saturday in my Dallas Arboretum workshop - the gardens are full of color so put a little joy in your brush and let's make brilliant flowers bloom in oils. Open to beginners to advanced painters, and those who use acrylics as well as water-based oils, we start the day with fresh flowers and donuts, so you'll want to arrive early to ensure they are extra fresh. To end things nicely, here's a photo of my new boss, Studio Director AnnieBee. Currently she is looking absolutely adorable, sound asleep on her pillow, and snoring like a sailor.

Coastal Color Sunflowers is the newest small daily, continuing the lavishly lavender theme this week. I'll be leaving Thursday for the Hill Country and the historic German town of Fredericksburg, Texas. Dozens of art events are kicking off in Fredericksburg, which is hosting the Oil Painters of America show. I'll be the featured artist Friday evening at the Good Art Company gallery and my workshop begins Friday morning. There are still a few seats open in my 3-day workshop this weekend, so don't delay - let's share some German pastries, look out over rolling cabins and hills from the classroom windows, and make flowers bloom in brilliant colors!

You are cordially invited to join me in historic Fredericksburg, Texas, amidst rolling hills, cabins, beautiful vistas, and awesome German bakeries for a perfect workshop retreat!

 It was a banner day in the workshop classroom, with paint flying hither and yon, flashbulbs popping, and lots of giggling and visiting. I always love to step back and enjoy the chatter and excitement of a room full of ladies exchanging emails, places they love to visit, pictures of their kids and furbabies, and generally having a ball. Workshops, to me, are a gift you give yourself for all that you give to others. They are a place of peace, a place of healing, a place to rejuvenate and recharge and enjoy color and flowers. 

We give so much of ourselves to our families, friends and jobs, it is good to once in a while give something back to ourselves. My workshops start each day with a large demonstration painting. In the afternoons, we work together step by step on a favorite flower of choice. My students are beginner to advanced, working in oils, water based oils and acrylics, and benefit from a technique that encourages a loose, fresh approach to making bright colors sing. Thank you to the marvelous group of talented artists who spent these past three days with me. I am so grateful to my students for all they share with me, and all they teach me. Not to mention helping me eat all those donuts!

Two of a Kind Hydrangeas is the newest painting in Flower Mound Studio, and feels a bit like one of my small daily paintings after the days I've spent on a few four foot container gardens! AnnieBee and I packed up our favorite pillows and toys and headed to the farm to spend time with Mom this morning. We're looking forward to movie night and popcorn. I hope you have a nice weekend ahead with comfy spots to rest and little cuties to snuggle with!

In an attempt to show a smidgen of self-discipline and restrain myself from painting my new red vase ad infinitum, I painted a white sugar bowl today. A dear friend asked how to make the whites and I thought you might like to know, since I also happen to be infatuated with white flowers lately. Visit my art blog to read a bit about my method!

Put a little joy in your brush and join me for a flower painting workshop to hear more tips for making your flowers sing with color. The new year is just around the corner. What a great time to loosen your approach to painting and learn to fall in love with your easel again!

Holly Berries and Roses was the morning demo from my 3-day workshop in Irving last weekend, and is going to be my holiday card this year. I have much to be thankful for, especially to my collectors who have made this my best year for art ever. Today the studio helpers and I had some special visitors, Tracey and her babies from New York, who are in town to visit her family for Thanksgiving. Howie fell in love with a little New York cutey named Izzy, and I was instantly infatuated with the lovely Rosie, a vintage beauty and sweet soul who found Java's soft nest bed and immediately made it her own. I hope your heart is filled with love for some special little ones this week, and new discoveries that give you comfort.
