It's been a busy few weeks, with an art show reception at Keller Town Hall, an art demo for the Visual Art League of Lewisville, Texas, a three day workshop at the Jaycee Parks Center for the Arts, and a trip to Scottsdale following close on the heels of all that frenzy. If I didn't absolutely love what I am doing, I would have to fire my scheduler for sure! Here is another of my demo paintings from my 3-day workshop last weekend, red and white roses in glass on a nice square format. Take a peek at my art blog to see this created step by step.

My next workshop is in Memphis, Tennessee, in September, but there are only two seats left, and November in Irving, Texas, has two seats left, but there are plenty of seats open in the Texas Hill Country workshop in Fredericksburg, Texas. Put a little joy in your brush and let's make flowers bloom together in 2012! Read more about my workshops here...

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!

The debut of the little red bowl!

Sunflower Daisy Divas was my first attempt at a painting demonstration on video today, courtesy of cameraman hubby and my four studio pugs who provided background snoring and snuffling sound effects. Hubby is working on the final movie edit, while all four pugs wonder anxiously who will end up on the cutting room floor, since I did insist that each of them be introduced and their specific studio roles and tasks explained. While we wait with bated breath to see what might be the first flower painting demo with a pug in it ever before produced on the Pug Planet, I've shared a little step by step of the sunflower demo we filmed today on my art blog. Stay tuned to the bloggy for more on this developing news item, but to see sunflowers painted in the flesh, join me for my Summer Saturday Sunflower workshop on June 23! Read more...

Orange Parfait White Rose Bouquet is the newest painting in the Flower Mound Studio. We are still in a bit of a celebratory mood, now that Hannah the rescue pug has become an official part of our family. Her adoption contract was signed today and mailed to DFW Pug Rescue. It was a perfect way to start the holiday weekend! I hope you have something wonderful to celebrate this weekend, even if it just the love of a little four-footed friend.

Check out my art blog today to see Orange Parfait White Rose Bouquet for you step by step. Put a little joy in your brush and join me for a flower painting workshop this summer! Read more about my workshops....

Fancy Free Sunflowers and Oranges is the newest painting in Flower Mound Studio. There is probably a medication for my obsessive compulsive sunflower painting disorder, but I have no intention of considering a seven step program until Rembrandt discontinues cadmium yellow. I'm sharing my step by step painting of Fancy Free Sunflowers with you on my art blog today to celebrate my Summer Saturday Sunflower workshop on June 23. Join me in North Texas at the Jaycee Park Center for the arts from 9 am to 4 pm for a fun day of painting sunflowers in oils. Read more...

I began Fancy Free Sunflowers around 8 pm last night, and finished around 1 am this morning. AnnieBee stayed with me in the studio long after the boys and Hannah retired, and today she looks just a little less perky than usual. She stays up late for the sweet potato chews. I owe it all to caffeine and a jumbo bag of Dove chocolate.

This week I'm deconstructing the large flower setup on my rubber maid roller cart, the wonderful new studio accessory I've been enjoying since the hubby found it on clearance at Office Max last weekend. I had to remove the sunflowers for a special commission I've begun of hydrangeas and white roses, so I'm going to treat myself to a trip to Central Market in the morning for fresh flowers! They don't allow photography in Central Market, so I can't share that trip with you, but their flower market is the closest thing to visiting the Dallas Arboretum you can get without driving to the actual gardens themselves (which will be quite packed this weekend, in fact, because of the Chihuly exhibit!).

So we'll avoid the real gardens and go to the store bought ones. I can hardly wait to see what their theme is this weekend. Last weekend it was "A Walk in Provence," so you may have noticed I borrowed that title a few times for new paintings over the past few days.

The studio models take a bow!
