"West Chop Meadow" - Thaw Malin iii

"West Chop Meadow", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.

My inner voice told me to go to West Chop to paint this afternoon. I thought I was supposed to go all the way to the beach and jetty. The universe had a different idea. How about a January sailboat out and about in the middle of a warmish day…? (There were actually 2 sailboats out, but only this one caught my fancy.)

The value of this work of art is $550 USD, but, as my gift to you, for the 7 days of the auction each piece is in from the day it is created, you may start bidding at $100 (before the price becomes $550)… This is my way of saying thank you for enjoying my work and keeping me creating new ones almost everyday.

"Menemsha Pond" - Thaw Malin iii

"Menemsha Pond", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.

The gray sky from the last few days and the wet weather have accentuated what colors there are in the winter landscape. Darks are darker and they push the lights to seem lighter. Everything will change once the sun comes back, drying the darks to a lighter value and adding shadows and bright light areas. Right now, I can't wait…

"Pot Of Gold" - Thaw Malin iii

"Pot Of Gold", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.

I painted this almost 2 months ago. It somehow never felt complete. It haunted me from my studio easel for weeks. After Hurricane Sandy, I realized we all need this rainbow, now. I set about pushing and pulling the space more with extra darks and lights in the foreground greens and yellows and shadows. I also had to adjust the sky near the horizon to give it a more stormy feel. After all that, the water needed to be lightened, too. Now I think I can find that pot of gold…

"Holly Farm Barn" - Thaw Malin iii

"Holly Farm Barn", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.

This is one of my favorite older barns. It is still standing in good shape, not made of corrugated metal, has that barn red doors and trim and matching shingles. An added surprise was finding 2 large pigs living in and around the building. I quickly made new friends. As the painting progressed, they came back from a leisurely acorn jaunt in the woods. They wallowed in the muddy swamp right behind me to better observe my painting technique…

"Chilmark Country" - Thaw Malin iii

"Chilmark Country", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.

I pulled over to make a cell phone call. As I talked, I became entranced by this sunny view. I enjoyed the scenery for another 2 hours routed to this spot...

"Spring Leads To Summer", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.

Spring rain and warm weather have brought the dune grasses back to a vibrant green. Lounging on the beach and playing in the surf are closer than you think...

Yellow Cottage Rose Arbor and Painting Flowers in the Texas Hill Country - A Workshop by Nancy Medina

Yellow Cottage Rose Arbor

Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Purchase Information

Nancy Medina Web Site

Yellow Cottage Rose Arbor is based on the cottage gardens of Coronado, California - I got lots of great pictures when I was there 2 weeks ago for my annual solo show at Art and Frames by Wood Gallery on Orange Avenue. As soon as I got home from Coronado, it was time to pack up the studio and head to Fredericksburg, Texas, where I taught a 3 day flower painting class in the Hill Country.

The 12 gals who joined me at The Good Art Company school painted hydrangeas, daisies, and sunflowers. I am pretty sure someone spiked the kolaches, because there was an awful lot of laughing happening! In between painting, we had cheese danish, chocolate cake donuts, apple turnovers, and on the last day J'Lynn even shared her secret stash of chocolate chip cookies! A huge thank you to everyone who came to the workshop, I sure hope you enjoyed yourself and took home some great tools for your painting apron!

Thanks especially to Betty, who traveled all the way from Durango, Mexico, by herself, two plane rides, one long car ride, just to study with me. It is a bit humbling when students come from so far to study with you, and I had some lovely ladies from Tennessee, New Jersey, and quite a few from all over Texas joining me this weekend. Visit my art blog to see all the pictures! We painted fast and loose and had a lot of fun with color. And an added bonus was a pet friendly family reception Friday afternoon after class. The gals brought all their favorite critters, both two legged and four legged, to the event. Molly and Morgan, two four footed cutey pies from Tennessee, and Bob the Studio Dog were on paw to greet all their adoring fans and enjoy the special doggy bags Mary Katherine prepared. I could tell from the smacking and gulping those treats were delish!

My next workshop is May 12 at the Dallas Arboretum. I sure hope to see you there!

My students' sunflowers were blossoming all over the place!

No shortage of smiles around here!

SOLD ~ Sun Swept Cottage Path Rose Arbor by Texas Flower Artist Nancy Medina

Sun Swept Cottage Path

Sun Swept Cottage Path is a new painting in Flower Mound Studio, as I package up a 48X48 hydrangea for a client in Texas. Sometimes I depend on my imagination to fill in details for my paintings, and in this painting I added a trellis to the bottom rungs of the archway. I also changed the color of the background house from sky blue to a muted gray, since I wanted to put some sky blue in the fence in the foreground.

I took several pictures of this painting and studied the images on my camera viewfinder to make a few final corrections, then took the final photos for the blog. This painting is one more memento based on my visit to Coronado, California. You'll see more in the days to come, so stay tuned to my art blog!

Crackatuxet - Thaw Malin iii

"Crackatuxet", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.

A favorite corner of South Beach. I especially love this collection of last century buildings. This is what the Vineyard will always be to me, small scale, happy, close to the land and ocean. Of course, my vision is incomplete without summer, too, but off season has its own pleasures...

January Dune - Thaw Malin iii

"January Dune", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.

Rain poured on and off all day. I caught this view while painting from my van between storms, from behind the dunes at South Beach. The rain intensified the colors of the dried grass and the leafless branches of the rosa rugosa. The dark storm clouds added to the drama of the day...

Cranberry Bog - Thaw Malin iii

"Cranberry Bog", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.

I painted here in late afternoon light over two years ago. Driving by the other day, I couldn't resist creating it again in morning light with the tree shadows rippling across the drive...

Anticipation - Thaw Malin iii

"Anticipation", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.

This is the first glimpse of the ocean as one navigates down to the parking lot before unloading and heading out the path to the beach. Whether for a walk or a swim, this view is relished in the moment of anticipation of what lies ahead...

December Tree - Thaw Malin iii

"December Tree", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.

I have enjoyed this view over many years while walking past and through into a more enticing angle. Today the wind was moving too fast and I settled in the lee of a pine tree grove. The sky gave me glimpses of greatness, but the clouds held only for seconds and were gone...

Life Saver - Thaw Malin iii

"Life Saver", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.

Far away from all is this stretch of beautiful beach. It happens to have a bad rip tide along it. Stationed every so often there are orange boxes with rope inside and a life saving ring. These may be tossed out to the hapless swimmer struggling in the rip...

Black Point Moon- Thaw Malin iii

"Black Point Moon", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.

A beautiful, warm and sunny afternoon found me out along the paths behind the dunes. The Atlantic Ocean gently rocked the air with sounds of surf and scent of sea. Ducks dropped down into the reeds for an overnight rest. Moon rose from the east gaining its luminous power as the sun slipped ever lower and was gone...

A Grand Entrance - Thaw Malin iii

"A Grand Entrance", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.

I try not to paint at the same place too often, but the sounds of the waves brought me back to the beach. This path is the only way to walk down to this section of beach, but what a view awaits. Even with this year's salt burt colors of the local vegetation, it is a beautiful place...

Right Fork Path - Thaw Malin iii

"Right Fork Path", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.

I managed to get to Edgartown to paint, but was not thrilled with my planned locations. So I drove around and ended up by South Beach. There was a bit of a wind, but it kept my not so favorite insects away from me. It was also nice to be up on a dune to watch the sun go down...

Long Light - Thaw Malin iii

"Long Light", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.

I enjoy walking out to this locale to paint, or just to view the evening sky. From my studio, it is the closest 360º, open sky view point. This was a beautiful end to a warm day. The mid-summer field colors were enchanting in the low evening light. Volumes and shapes not apparent when the sun is more overhead were exposed in the sunset light...

Beach and Boat - Thaw Malin iii

"Beach And Boat", this is a small painting, 6" x 8", oil on canvas panel.

Late afternoon up in the dunes on a beautiful, cool, sunny fall day. It was so cool that by sundown I had to put my gloves on to get me back to the car. The water colors were gorgeous, especially in contrast to the burt orange of the leafscape...
