Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas



I got a phone call from blogger yesterday asking where I've been the past few days. I had such a fun time painting flowers with the talented ladies of Lafayette, Louisiana, and eating large portions every night of crab etouffe, shrimp gumbo and roasted oysters with parmesan dribbled generously in butter that I completely lost track of time. By Day 2, none of the pants I had packed in my suitcase fit anymore. My fingers were no longer able to type anything discernible on my laptop keyboard with the exception of "Siri, find directions to the nearest Cajun Restaurant...PRONTO!" I'm a firm believer, however, that if you're going to indulge, do it with something absolutely yummy, and I have never found a bad restaurant in Louisiana.

Sunflower Sunset and Postcards From the Beach - Flower Paintings by Nancy Medina



Sunflower Sunset

Oil on Archival Panel


Sunflower Sunset was one of my six classroom demonstrations in Fort Lauderdale, Florida this weekend. Tomorrow morning we leave the classroom behind for a day of plein air painting. My hosts found a charming cottage with a bougainvillea garden, so we shall be out bright and early to paint. I specialize in a "kinder, gentler" plein air, and have a few ladies who will have tables and chairs for their outdoor painting experience, with an ocean breeze and a palm tree swaying nearby. The owner of the garden was so kind, he stopped by my class today with his chocolate lab to make sure we were coming over tomorrow to paint his garden. He was super excited, as he is also an artist! I love these little simpatico moments in life, don't you? 

Stay tuned, I promise to share more of my Florida adventure with you on my art bloggy. In the meantime, here is a postcard for you of sunset at dinner on the beach. Sure wish you were here with us!




The demo collapsed with color....



Wishing you were here....
