Yellow Lace Roses and Letters From Port Fairy by Nancy Medina

Yellow Lace Roses is the newest daily painting in Flower Mound Studio, a fun escape back to my wild side of big brush strokes and fat color. One of the nicest things about blogging and sharing your art on Pinterest and Facebook is the kind people you "meet" from afar. I received a wonderful note yesterday from Wilma, 75, from Port Fairy, a seaside tourist town southwest of Victoria, Australia. Can you imagine living in a place that sounds this magical? Wilma was kind enough to share photos of her amazing garden, and noted that it is full summer there now. While we shiver and stick close to the footheaters here in the studio, Wilma's hollyhocks are blooming in red ruby glory and her gardens are full of color. She told me her petunias have "gone to God" but her hydrangeas will probably be back when the weather cools again. She has the assistance of two four-footed helpers, her King Charles Spaniel, Daisy, and her black and white kitty, Maggie, both of whom, she assures, are properly spoiled. I hope I hear from her again...




The studio models take a bow!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...by Pamela Blaies

OK - so the weather here in Texas isn't snowy, yet. But while shopping over the weekend, it was nice to hear Christmas music piping through the speakers, then more Christmas music in the car on the way home. I am excited that the Christmas season is upon us. I am also very happy to share that the painting "He Knows My Favorite Color" found a new home this past weekend!

He Knows My Favorite Color by Pamela Blaies

These yellow roses were part of a gorgeous bouquet my husband gave me on our anniversary this past Friday. They are the prettiest butter yellow. Setting up this composition, I put the light source pretty close and they became dazzlingly brilliant to my eyes. The color seemed to radiate from within, out into the very air around them. I think it gives them a kind of dreamy effect - very romantic. My sweetheart knows I am nuts about flowers, especially roses. He also knows my favorite color of rose -- it changes depending on the one I'm looking at that moment!
