A Million Kisses Red Roses is the newest work in Flower Mound Studio, as the days move closer to the the time of year I love most. I wanted to go a bit overboard with the color on this painting, break a few rules, and splash some paint around just for the sheer joy of it. I paint every day not just because it's good for my work, but because life is short and you should spend it doing something you feel absolutely passionate about. I also have a trusty little helper who can always be relied upon to give me a giggle. <a href="http://www.nancymedinaart.com/2012/12/a-million-kisses-red-roses-by-texas.html" target="_blank">Take a peek at my blog to see this painting step by step, and to to see one of Annie's funniest moments...</a></div>

Just for Now Red Geraniums is the newest painting on the easel in Flower Mound Studio, based on the batch of geraniums I cut after dark from my back yard container garden yesterday. Tonight I went out again, needing a fresh batch, but was smart enough this time to carry a small flashlight. And I promise I was not running with scissors in the dark, just in case my Mom is reading this....</div>

I'm very excited to announce I will be holding my first workshop in my home state of Missouri June 21-23, 2013, in Lees Summit, near Kansas City. Kansas City ladies, I hope to see you there! <a href="http://nancymedina.fineartstudioonline.com/page/1989/june-21-22-23-2013-lees-summit-mo-new" target="_blank">Read more about my new workshop here....</a><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Qiang Huang set this week's Daily Paintworks challenge as the "Color of Blue." To add to the challenge the painting should be high key and no red or orange is to be used as a contrast. I immediately thought of my husband's shirt. I painted it on a panel with a black ground on it. I like it! Thanks for a great challenge!</span><br />

I decide what to paint each day as almost the last step before picking up the brush. I mix most of my colors directly on the canvas, with the color reaction occurring when the brush picks up the hue beneath and around where it touches the surface. <a href="http://www.nancymedinaart.com/2012/11/blue-monday-irises-step-by-step-by.html" target="_blank">Visit my art blog today to see this painting step by step, and hear more about how it was created.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I intentionally staged some orange on blue in Blue Monday Lilies, can you tell where I did that? You as the artist have the tools to create drama in your paintings, find opportunities in your floral setups to lay brilliant complements atop one another. Lay a stroke of pure color and fight the urge to blend it away. Don't turn down the volume, turn it up. Let your color sing!</div>

Love Always Lily and Rose Container Garden is the newest work in Flower Mound Studio, and was finished around 3 am. If it weren't for caffeine, I'm not quite sure I could have pulled this off! It's been a few days since I painted, and I just returned from one of the best Thanksgiving meals ever at Mom's house. My sisters and our family have so much to be thankful for, another year with Mom, being at the top of that list. Here's wishing you a wonderful holiday with lots of delicious things to eat and loved ones nearby!<br />

Today was the last day of my flower painting workshop in Irving, Texas, and we painted fast and loose and made white roses and holly berries bloom! With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, we shared some of our favorite must-have dishes that would be served next week. I am pretty sure I'm going to show up on <a href="http://nancystandlee.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Nancy Standlee's doorstep</a> unannounced to sample one of the multiple chocolate pies she said she will be making! I told Carlos if he really loved me, he would learn to make pies and pastries. So far no luck. I'll keep you posted if he realized how truly serious I am about this...!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
My next workshop is almost full so I sure hope to see you there! <a href="http://nancymedina.com/page/2316/january-11-12-13-2013-irving-tx-workshop" target="_blank">Click here for details....</a></div>

The geraniums in my yard are in full bloom, convinced that spring has arrived and they have months and months of sunshine ahead. I'm not going to tell them otherwise! I'm going to celebrate! New Growth Geraniums is the demo I created for the Associated Creative Artists of Dallas today, a nice group of professional painters right here in Big D. Thanks so much to Ann Rogers for her cordial invite to join this talented group!</div>

It's been over a year since I've posted art on STALTP. I apologize in advance for not knowing the October theme. However, it is great to be back. Settled in Temple Texas, with a home studio I can hardly wait to break in!<br />
<br />
Recently, at the grocery store I picked up these gold beets and was smitten with the color. Not a beet fan, I had no plans to eat but simply to paint them. I enjoyed every minute and think they make for delicious art! The following day after googling recipes, I decided to roast them, finely chopped, tossed with olive oil, with a little salt and pepper for 25 minutes at 400. Boy, was I in for a nice surprise! <br />
<br />
I hope you are all well and enjoying the cooler weather. <br />

As soon as I finished unpacking from Denver, it's time to start packing again for my next workshop in Fredericksburg, Texas, October 26, 27 and 28. I'm tickled pink to have found a new treasure while in the gift store of the Denver Botanical Gardens, this lovely little blue pitcher. I may have to bubble wrap it with loving care for the trip to my Hill Country workshop!</div>

Butterfly Flight was a commissioned work for a client in Montreal. This is not nearly as stunning as Kay Wyne's gorgeous dragonfly for the blog this month, but it sure was fun to paint the little windowpane wings! For a few lucky years when I was single, I lived in Santa Barbara, CA, and used to take my dog Buddy on walks at one of the tiny hidden lakes in the county, unknown to the tourists but beloved by the locals and birdwatching groups. One day while walking, I looked up to see a tree filled with what had to be hundreds of thousands of Monarchs. What signal or word did they share that let them all know it was time to land and rest on their journey? I will always wonder.</div>

Reach Out Sunflower Solo was one of several demos I completed at my Summer Saturday Sunflower Workshop this past weekend. What a great day to spend with students who shared my unabashed and unashamed and just a bit over the top infatuation with sunflowers! I mean, okay, one of us even admitted she has sunflowers painted on <strike>my</strike> her kitchen door.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the midst of all these sunflower confessions and before painting commenced and yellow paint began to fly hither and yon, <a href="http://nancymedinaart.com/" target="_blank">we enjoyed a SURPRISE sunflower bundt cake </a>- lemon with creme cheese icing! This delish concoction for my students was the idea of the hubby, who was on hand to help us set up tables and the indispensable Keurig coffee machine. (Note - the bumblebees on top were cardboard cutouts. No real bumblebees were harmed in the making of this cake.) </div>

My inspiration for the painting was a beautiful arrangement that was sent to my daughter for her college graduation a few years ago. I do remember how beautiful they were....and they had a wonderful fragrance.
