A Sunflower Workshop Surprise by Texas Artist Nancy Medina


Reach Out Sunflower Solo
by Nancy Medina
12X12
Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

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 my her kitchen door.

In the midst of all these sunflower confessions and before painting commenced and yellow paint began to fly hither and yon, we enjoyed a SURPRISE sunflower bundt cake - 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.) 

Visit my blog to see some photos of my Summer Saturday Sunflower class. My next workshop is in historic Fredericksburg, Texas, at Baron's Creekside Resort. Put a little joy in your brush and join me for sweets, shopping in the afternoons, and lots of flower painting in the Hill Country. Read more...

A friend has this really interesting door on a stone shed behind her home. I just love her security system. Ain't nobody gettin' in there as long as that rock is where it is! :)

Hay 4 Sale - Kirk Witmer


6" x 8 - Oil on canvas panel

This is another from my "Hwy 95" series done from a photo taken on "The Great Sausage Expedition". The photo was taken at Latitude 30.371885/Longitude-97.371178 which puts it not far south of Taylor, TX. I've been interested more and more in things that repeat themselves in an image and when I saw this row of haybales I thought "Yep, that'll do just fine."
