Painting Flowers in the Texas Hill Country, July 6-8

Reach Out Sunflower Solo was one of several demos I completed at my Summer Saturday Sunflower Workshop this past weekend. What a great day to spend with students who shared my unabashed and unashamed and just a bit over the top infatuation with sunflowers! I mean, okay, one of us even admitted she has sunflowers painted on my her kitchen door! In the midst of all these sunflower confessions and before painting commenced and yellow paint began to fly hither and yon, we enjoyed a SURPRISE sunflower bundt cake - lemon with creme cheese icing! This delish concoction for my students was the idea of the hubby, who was on hand to help us set up tables and the indispensable Keurig coffee machine. (Note - the bumblebees on top were cardboard cutouts. No real bumblebees were harmed in the making of this cake.) 

Visit my blog today to see photos of my Summer Saturday Sunflower class! My next workshop is in historic Fredericksburg, Texas, at Baron's Creekside Resort. Put a little joy in your brush and join me for sweets, shopping in the afternoons, and lots of flower painting in the Hill Country! Read more...

 Only Two Spots Left!   Fling your painting inhibitions to the wind and join me for a fun one-day workshop of Painting Sunflowers in Oils. We will paint loose and bright and we'll focus on loosening your approach to the still life. I'll share some simple methods for making your sunflower paintings look authentic and beautiful. Class is for beginning to advanced painters, as well as artists who have never worked in oils before. I encourage my students to bring their cameras and record each step of the painting, so they can use their images to help them long after the workshop is finished. Working from fresh sunflowers, I will start class with a demonstration in the morning, and after lunch we will paint your favorite flowers together. Bring your lunch and join me for an exciting day of creating flowers that will last a lifetime!

Lemon Blossom Sunflowers is drying on the easel in Flower Mound Studio and while it is almost time to wash up the brushes today, I wanted to tell you about an interesting phone call I got yesterday. A very nice lady from La Quinta in Las Colinas said she noticed I'm hosting several art workshops in Irving, Texas. She said she used to do the marketing for the Dallas Arboretum, and noticed I teach out there, and thought it would be great if we could partner up and do something to help my workshop students.
