Sans Souci Garden Path is the newest tribute to romance in Flower Mound Art Studio. I created this garden scene by blending many of my Dallas Arboretum photographs with art model photos taken in the past, cutting, pasting and overlapping until I found a composition that worked. With a strong vertical element (the little lady) I needed an equally strong, but less important horizontal element to help push her forward, and create a nice bit of tension for the eye. The fuschia hedgerow filled the bill!

You are invited to join me February 14-16 for three days of painting loose, bright, fun flowers and dresses in North Texas in my workshop designed specially for the traveling artist. With free transportation to and from the airport and to class each day, located just a few miles from the airport, this is an easy quick trip for those who want to dip their toes in a fun workshop with lots of cool giveaways. The workshop is almost full so don't delay! Put a little romance in your brush and join me for some Valentine's fun!

I'm absolutely thrilled to announce a new winter line ~ of paintings! What better way to display my 29 Dresses Collection than to give them their own category? Fashion and Figure is my newest online art couture collection, and will grow by leaps, bounds, and yards and yards of gowns in the next few weeks as I continue to add new dresses to my inventory. Some of you are undoubtedly scratching your noggins and wondering if I've had a little too much holiday egg nog. Rest assured I have not abandoned flower painting. My goal now is to begin a bit of fusion between fashion, figure and flowers, keeping all, embracing all, and giving them a good mix on the palette for a bran new line of original paintings.

I began drawing dresses, women's faces, noses, eyes, ears, jewelry, shoes, gloves and all the bling that we adore when I was about 10 years old. When I turned 30, I made it my New Year's resolution to move away from drawing and hop into color and begin painting. It seems a bit like Kismet that almost exactly 20 years later I am returning to fashion.

I get very excited when I start talking about fashion, design, color, form, fabric, texture, and most especially 1940s and 1950s couture. I was getting my hair cut today and having an animated conversation with a friend in the salon. The arm flailing and exuberance got a bit out of control, and finally my hairdresser had to ask me to calm down and sit still lest she cut off an ear or something! Stay tuned, I promise you'll continue to see flowers blooming here. You're just going to get some other cool stuff, too, things we can dream about wearing to the ball at midnight...for example.
