Daily Painters of Texas: LILIES

Ginger Jar Lilies was my class demonstration in St. Louis, Missouri, this morning. The ladies in class today scored some home runs (notice the baseball reference, St. Louis?) with their lilies today, painting in oils and a few in acrylics. I'll have to get plenty of rest tonight, tomorrow we paint French landscapes and it will be our French party! I hope the ghost doesn't keep me awake - what ghost, you say? Read more....

Twinkle Toes Stargazer Lily

by Nancy Medina

8X6

Palette Knife/Oil

Twinkle Toes Stargazer is a new small work, I couldn't resist creating at least one flower that reminded me of the holidays this morning, before diving into preparations for a feast with friends today and Mom tomorrow, and putting up the Christmas tree this weekend! This is my favorite time of year, and our first year to have little Hannah the Rescue Pug as an official part of our family. I hope you have something that smells absolutely delicious cooking today and loved ones nearby, two and four footed alike!

Lily Song Stargazers by Floral Artist Nancy Medina

Class Demonstration

20X16

Oil on Archival Panel

Lily Song Stargazers was my class demonstration this morning, starring my new green bowl - the original green bowl, which had appeared in dozens of my older paintings, met a sad demise at the Dallas Arboretum in class one day, when I scooted a table over and it fell to the floor. I like to think these flowers are all saying Ooooo! and Ahhhh! as they gaze at the green bowl, but then my mind does tend to run to silly things like that....

Lavender Lilies by Floral Artist Nancy Medina

Oil on Archival Panel

Lavender Lilies is the daily newbie in Flower Mound Studio as I prepare for my Rockwall Texas workshop tomorrow morning. I'll be getting up around 4:30 am to make the trek across Texas to this beautiful town on the lake. I went a bit overboard at Central Market (*sound of harps*) flower market today, buying red carnations, sunflowers, rose hips, white and pale yellow roses, lilies and purple, fuschia and white larkspur. Plus greenery. It really was not my fault. Again, someone left me in a flower store with a charge card and no adult supervision whatsoever.

SOLD ~ Summer Born Stargazers by Texas Flower Artist Nancy Medina

Summer Born Stargazers

SOLD

Oil on Archival Panel

Summer Born Stargazers is the newest daily painting in Flower Mound Studio, and just a quick entry today since big thunderstorms are rolling across North Texas. The tornado sirens have not gone off in Flower Mound yet, but the largest storm cells are surrounding us on the West and North. What does one do when you have four little dogs in a tornado watch? You hunker down in the smallest bathroom in the house, with pillows, your cell phone, and a large bag of chips to keep everyone happy.

Summer Born Stargazer models take a little bow!

SOLD ~ Stargazing With Stargazers in Flower Mound Studio by Texas Artist Nancy Medina

Stargazers and Pear

by Nancy Medina

SOLD

16X12

Oil on Archival Panel

Stargazers were on sale at the grocery store flower market day before yesterday for $2 a bunch. Each bunch had three bundles of stems, and each stem had half a dozen flowers. I'll let you imagine what my house smells like right now! Then I found this very good looking pear. I'm sure the checker at the counter added one more little token to the pile of crazy chips she automatically thinks of when she sees me trundling up her line with flowers instead of groceries. Here I was with flowers, chocolate, and one fat pear. A pear that is looking extremely yummy to me right now, so I had better wash up and leave the studio before the pear faces a sad demise...

The studio model pear rolls over!

Midnight Lilies is the newest painting in Flower Mound Studio. Midnight was named in honor of the very late hour when it was painted! I'm packing up paints and supplies for a workshop in Irving, Texas this weekend, and am excited to see my students arrive Friday morning, including a few coming from out of state. Stay tuned to my art blog - I'll be sharing pictures of three days of painting flowers in North Texas!

Love Always Lily and Rose Container Garden is the newest work in Flower Mound Studio, and was finished around 3 am. If it weren't for caffeine, I'm not quite sure I could have pulled this off! It's been a few days since I painted, and I just returned from one of the best Thanksgiving meals ever at Mom's house. My sisters and our family have so much to be thankful for, another year with Mom, being at the top of that list. Here's wishing you a wonderful holiday with lots of delicious things to eat and loved ones nearby!
