The Power of Love
in White, Teal and Pink Lace
by Nancy Medina
24X18
Oil on Deep Gallery Wrap Canvas

A number of elemental forces converged for the creation of The Power of Love in White, Teal and Pink Lace in Flower Mound Studio today: The fresh peonies had one last gasp, the big ole canvas was prepped and ready for something joyful to appear, and my new 29 dress collection was crying aloud for another member to join the growing ranks of frills and fluff! I'm working on my January art newsletter, too, and getting ready to pick a grand prize winner (yes, you will win the full day private lesson in Flower Mound Studio, keep thinking positive!). I confess that the pictures from the Golden Globes did have some influence on the decision to paint another dress, maybe it's just me, but I think the gowns were more elegant, overall, this year than I have seen in a very long time, what did you think?

If you haven't already, be sure to sign up for my monthly newsletter right here ~ a workshop winner will be announced bright and early Thursday!

From my new art couture line Fashion and Figure!

There is nothing like a fluffy skirt to make a girl feel dreamy, don't you agree? I've been infatuated with these dress paintings, thinking of them all day long, divining in my mind the idea, back view, front view? wedding dress? brunette? red head??? By the time the palette is set out, colors mixed, and raw canvas is propped before me, I've tied myself into little art couture fits and can hardly wait to get started. Painting each day is my reward, and I'm so very fortunate to have this calling. My studio day ended on a banner note, when I received a message from David Marine of Daily Paintworks notifying me that White Rose Rebellion placed second in their monthly art challenge contest. Such a huge honor, and what a delight to discover the juror is a seasoned plein air landscape painter! We should definitely get dressed up in some frilly skirts and celebrate....
