Jimmy Longacre_subjective realist landscape paintings_WORKSHOP_Putting Spontaneity and Improvisation Into Your Painting
Nothing enhances spontaneity and improvisation like careful planning! Contradictory as that may sound, having a clear idea of where you want a painting to go, and how you will get there is the key to you having more fun, and learning to paint better. This workshop will cover essential information and skills necessary for your success in plein air and studio painting. It is not intended to teach a painting “method”, but to provide the information you need to “play” and grow as a painter in a directed and meaningful manner.
• You will learn the working principle and huge benefits of using NOTAN sketches to prepare your painting plan. You will learn how NOTAN can pave the way to a more confident understanding key design and composition principles.
• After presenting the basic subject matter, which includes the concept and logic of Notan and its relationship to composition, and color, I will demonstrate and answer questions.
• There will, then, be time for you to paint and receive one-on-one instruction.
I work in oils, but the information is fundamental to all painting media and approaches. Painting skill is mainly increased by painting. We tend to do more of what is fun for us, and that is the objective of this workshop. You having more fun!
The introductory workshop is intended for beginning to intermediate level painters, and is designed for working indoors, from photo reference, so that we can more effectively focus on the concepts and skills. Those interested in making progress in plein air painting skills will find the information we cover to be invaluable.

Blue Iris Balboa Sunset by Texas Flower Artist Nancy Medina
Blue Iris Balboa Sunset

16X12
Oil on Archival Panel
Blue Iris Balboa Sunset is my newest daily painting in Flower Mound Studio, as I pack up paints and palette for my landscape workshop tomorrow in North Texas. I'm looking forward to visiting Balboa Park again in April, when I'll be on Coronado Island in Southern California for my annual solo show painting in the garden at Art and Frames by Wood Gallery. I'm working on a whole set of new four-foot container garden paintings for the show, so stop by and say hello and enjoy refreshments and art in the garden. The gallery is right in the heart of downtown, just a few doors down from Starbucks, so grab a latte and come on by! I'm sharing one of my favorite photos on my art blog today from Balboa Park here, my husband, Carlos, taking a stroll through the gardens with a jiggly wiggly lovely little girl named Dandy. Carlos and I moved from Southern California to Dallas over 10 years ago. Our best friends there like to call us every year or so to tell us how much more our condo is worth now, and how nice the sunshine is, and how beautiful the ocean and fresh the seafood is. It's always good to have friends to keep things in perspective, don't you agree?

Afternoon Light Red Tulips by Texas Flower Artist Nancy Medina
Afternoon Light Red Tulips

18X18
Palette Knife/Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Afternoon Light is the newest painting in Flower Mound Studio, as I pack my bags for a trip back to East Texas to spend time with Mom. The hubby brought me a big bowl of cheese popcorn as I was finishing up this new floral, and later a piece of Hershey's chocolate provided that essential fuel needed to finish! Thank goodness for carbs and caffeine to keep those creative juices flowering!
Studio
Director AnnieBee and I have been spending quite a bit of time in East
Texas at the farm with my Mom. Mom is settling into a new routine with
visits from hospice and doctor's orders that she should eat "absolutely
anything she wants from this time forward." This does not bode well for
my waistline. Last week, I spied an old turntable in her piano room and
dragged it out into the kitchen, so she could hear the music. After playing Moonlight Serenade, Little Brown Jug, The St Louis Blues and Tuxedo Junction, I played this: Frank Sinatra - It Was a Very Good Year Mom
was dozing while the music played. When she woke up, she smiled and
told me she had had the best dream. She said she dreamed I had found her
old record player and brought it into the kitchen, and I had played
some of her favorite old songs for her. We both giggled when I told her
it hadn't been a dream at all. It was a very good day.

Red Red Rose and My Mother the Poet by Texas Flower Artist Nancy Medina

Purchase Information
Purchase Information
My mother began writing poetry when we were toddlers. She collected her poems in a large spiralbound notebook over the years. By the time we were in high school, she had been published in several anthologies and had won some awards for her writings. She did not tell us she wrote poetry, or show us her work, until I was 22 years old. She wrote a poem about me once, and it told of a kitten who grew up and whom she could no longer protect from the world. Read more...

Three Divas Red Poppies by Texas Flower Artist Nancy Medina
Three Divas ~ Red Poppies
by Nancy Medina
8X8
Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
I had a visit to the studio today by a very nice couple who took home a large poppy painting, which I took as a sign that I needed to paint....poppies! This new small work has nice deep edges and if I were smarter with the camera, I'd also include a photo of the edge looking all painted. Unfortunately, my photography skills are on a par with my cooking skills. I can tear open a bag of Cocoa Chex Mix snack bites like a pro! There are no poppies blooming in my yard this week, only flowers, and green grass, which I find a bit depressing because I am ready for....snow!

16X12
Oil on Archival Panel
Just for Now Red Geraniums is the newest painting on the easel in Flower Mound Studio, based on the batch of geraniums I cut after dark from my back yard container garden yesterday. Tonight I went out again, needing a fresh batch, but was smart enough this time to carry a small flashlight. And I promise I was not running with scissors in the dark, just in case my Mom is reading this....
I'm very excited to announce I will be holding my first workshop in my home state of Missouri June 21-23, 2013, in Lees Summit, near Kansas City. Kansas City ladies, I hope to see you there! Read more about my new workshop here....
The models are a little less than perky this morning...

Sun Seeker Sunflowers and Larkspur by Texas Artist Nancy Medina
Sun Seeker Sunflowers and Larkspur
by Nancy Medina
16X20
Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Sun Seeker Sunflowers and Larkspur is the newest painting in Flower Mound Studio, and I admit I'm seeing double after working all day in an office, and then painting a new floral still life until midnight. My little solo orange in the foreground needed a companion, so I gave him a reflection to admire, and sprinkled some larkspur on the table for good measure. If you've ever painted larkspur, you'll know it's about the messiest flower you can bring into the studio, and my white tablecloth is now speckled with purple splotchy stains as a result. I still love it, and will keep right on bringing it home, because it's so cheerful!
Thanks to everyone who commented on my new sunflower painting video trailer teaser promo footage! The full length video is under construction, and you'll be the first to know when it's available so stay tuned to the art bloggy!

Step by Step Sunflower Daisy Painting and My First Video Demo by Texas Artist Nancy Medina
Sunflower Daisy Divas by Nancy Medina
18X18
Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
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...

Lemon Blossom Sunflowers and an Unexpected Phone Call by Texas Artist Nancy Medina
Lemon Blossom Sunflowers
and Larkspur by Nancy Medina
16X20
Oil on Linen Board
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.
