Here is my newest iris landscape paintings, Argyle Acres Iris Farm, one of the largest I have painted to date from this farm so close to my home in Flower Mound, Texas. Irises are fun to paint because they each have their own personalities. They're unpredictable and just a little rowdy with their petals, throwing things off in unexpected directions. You can see a photographic tour of the farm on my blog today!

The fireplace is back in use today in Dallas, where temperatures dipped down to extra chilly last night. The pugs are all asleep in a pile of paws and whiskers, and all that can be heard in the studio is snoring and happy dog dream noises. This white lily was painted from images I photographed yesterday afternoon after a quick trip to the grocery store. I go for soap, I come home with flowers. I'm not quite sure why, but that always seems to happen.

I hope you and your loved ones are bundled up and staying warm this morning, and you are looking forward to the holidays like I am. If you have critters, please bring them inside, where they belong. After all, someone has to keep an eye on the kitchen while you're in the studio painting all day!

Sunflowers in Repose by Nancy Medina

Sunflowers in Repose is drying on the easel this evening, while the assistants lounge on various pillows around the studio. I set up a shoot of fresh sunflowers on white paper on my kitchen counter and fell in love with the way the cool paper contrasted with the warm petals of the sunflowers. I had originally added pears, but decided the paper alone was a good companion to these busy, bright flowers.

They are predicting real winter will come to Dallas this weekend. I am ready for it, even though the flowers will fade in the garden out back, finally and for good. Maybe it's time for them to rest, too.
