Fall Sunday Sunflowers was my class demonstration this morning in my North Texas flower painting workshop. We painted a floral setup including Big Blue, my famous (infamous?) blue vase which has made an appearance in so many of my paintings. We are just dipping our toe into the brightly colored water, with buckets of white hydrangeas and stargazer lilies beckoning over the next few days. Stay tuned to see photos on my art blog, as we make flowers bloom in brilliant color! Today's class prize was an entire iris garden in a bag, I gave away seven prize winning rhizomes from my iris garden to the student who guessed the lucky number 3 this morning. Congratulations Bett! I can't wait to see your new garden blooming next spring!

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.

October Garden Sunflowers and Daisies by Floral Artist Nancy Medina

October Garden Sunflowers and Daisies is the newest painting in Flower Mound Studio, as I begin work on a large commissioned painting of a Dallas Arboretum cherry blossom path. This is the perfect time of year to be painting outdoor scenes, as the North Texas weather has taken a turn today toward fall, with cool breezes and a light sprinkling of rain. Fall is my favorite time of year, and the season I missed most when I lived in Southern California, where temperatures averaged 85 degrees F about 320 days a year. I used to lose track of time there, with the years seeming to whiz past, because there were no seasonal changes to mark the days passing. Now that I'm back in Texas, I miss the California sunshine! Ah the irony of it all...

Dots and Sunflowers by Texas Artist Nancy Medina

I added dots to the pot in this studio setup, just to give the painting a dash of personality in my daily  newbie. These fresh sunflowers  were delegated to the trash bin after this last moment in the sun. They stood bravely through 3 days of workshops and then came home for a few more days, but, in the end, they gave their petals for a worthy cause...


Bidding adieu to the studio models!

Celebrate Today Hydrangea Garden by Floral Artist Nancy Medina

Celebrate Today Hydrangea Garden is the newest painting in Flower Mound Studio, with a message hidden under the painting (see my blog for the image). I finished this one late while the pugs snored all around the easel. The house is filled with fresh flowers following my workshop last weekend, one of the most excellent perks of my new job as a full-time artist. I have so many things to paint it is hard to decide where to start. I woke up this morning excited to get to work. I cannot remember feeling that way, ever before, for any job I have ever had before now. I'm very thankful, and it sure feels like it's worthy of celebration, tomorrow morning maybe I'll buy donuts!
