Foxglove Lane Cottage Garden by Floral Artist Nancy Medina

Foxglove Lane Cottage Garden

by Nancy Medina

12X16

Oil on Archival Panel

Purchase Information

Foxglove Lane Cottage Garden is the newest painting in Flower Mound Studio, and is based on the gardens of Coronado Island, California. We toured this garden during my class there near San Diego a few weeks ago, and even though the air was chilly, the flowers were still in bloom on the rose arbor above. We were fortunate to bump into Juan Flores, the architect of Coronado flower gardens, and multiple blue ribbon award winner for the Coronado Flower Show. Juan loves to share his tips for growing the best flowers year round. Juan told us that he sometimes cannot sleep at night, he is so excited about his gardens, planning what he will plant and what colors he will grow in the coming season. Thanks so much Juan, for your generosity and your vision, you are truly an artist!

New "Make a Wish" Palette Knife Autumn Aspen Tree Painting by Niki Gulley

20” x 16” textured oil painting

Reaching to the heavens above, this wishbone shaped aspen tree stretches tall, inviting you to stare in wonderment like a kid again, wishing on a dream. Painted with palette knife and extremely thick oil paint, this painting is loaded with texture, color, energy and movement!

E-mail Niki Gulley for more information on her palette knife aspen tree and contemporary landscape paintings.

See NikiGulley.com

Niki Gulley

Niki Gulley’s passion for painting began in grade school when she had to draw something as mundane as shoes for art class, and loved every minute of it. Her parents enrolled her in private lessons and she was hooked. Following her childhood in Chicago, Niki relocated to Dallas to pursue an art major at SMU. Since she disliked the freezing Illinois winters, Dallas seemed like the place to stay after graduating. Next, Gulley entered the world of advertising, working as art director for a local magazine. After a few years passed, Niki felt like something was missing. So she started painting again every free moment. This is what she had been missing and she began to feel fulfilled again. It is from this feeling of true joy that Niki translates onto canvas. She seeks to capture the beauty of our landscape, utilizing vivid colors in oil paint and pastels to convey a particular mood. Gulley invites you to reconnect with nature and escape day-to-day responsibilities along with her in these creations.

http://kkmcaninch.tumblr.com/

Wind Tossed Tulips is one of several paintings that are new in the studio this week, as the holiday gift orders are beginning to pour in one after another. I keep telling myself this is really the first year of my absolute independent for sure business as an artist launch, so working constantly, with no days off, is acceptable, it's what a business owner does. When you really love what you do, it's almost a bit like cheating, sneaking into the studio to work, enjoying packing a painting to ship, tape gun noise and all, even enjoying gesso-ing canvases and cleaning out turpenoid cans - I love every moment of this new life! How lucky I am. I'm not even sure what I could wish for this holiday season, it seems I've been given so much already....What a year this has been. When you wish and when you dream, sometimes the answer is Yes!

Kim McAninch

My goal is to deliberate the balance of representation and design. I am particularly moved by artists who are able to take abstraction further, offering more information with less detail. My work is not to reconstruct or comment on social, natural or cultural reality. While I have great respect for artists who do, I think my path has been towards the creation of studies of time and place using an acute understanding of design and color theory. I believe my work is expressionistic and is differentiated by the unique and arbitrary layering of complex colors. I am directed by the fundamentals of interior design and elements of design, especially intrigued by light. I am powered by my own highly personal vision and I encourage people who view my work to consider my process of decision-making. It is a course that is followed without hesitation and from which; I am not able to deviate. A day of successful painting is it the best of days. It is a selfish endeavor. I wish for the viewer to arrive at a personal determination, framed in their own experiences and therefore, apart from reference, I prefer not to name my work.

Why paint with a palette knife?

Reason #4: Artists can grow in their creative efforts by experimenting with different painting tools. Sometimes we just need to challenge ourselves and try a different approach in order to break out of a rut. I felt very clumsy the first time I painted with a palette knife (and sometimes still do), but with practice it gets easier and now it's my preferred tool.

Why paint with a palette knife?

Reason #3: Painting with a palette knife keeps me from getting too bogged down in details. My goal in landscape painting is to convey a sense of the place, rather than create a detailed replica of it. I look for the main idea that makes the scene remarkable.

Spring Memories

Coronado Rose Arbor by Nancy Medina

14X14

Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Purchase Information

http://kkmcaninch.tumblr.com/

With temperatures in Dallas below freezing, and my toes feeling just a little numb right now, the time seemed right to break out the rose brush and recreate my trip to San Diego. This painting is based on one of the dozens of rose arbors I love on Coronado Island, just over the bridge, in Southern California. I miss the weather there, but somehow doubt Carlos and I will ever be able to afford to move back. I used to tell my friends that it was "an honor and privilege" to live in California, based on all the hidden costs that kept us living from paycheck to paycheck. But the beautiful landscapes, the amazing weather, and the lifestyle are sure hard to forget, especially right now in the heart of a Texas winter!

Why paint with a palette knife?

Reason #2: A palette knife is good for covering large areas of a panel quickly. When I paint outdoors, it’s necessary to immediately block in the major shapes, colors and values before the light and weather conditions change.

The pumpkin pie is delicious. I bought heavy coconut milk in a can and used it in place of Condensed milk. Could not tell a difference, but my tummy loves it because I am lactose intolerant and have really missed my pumpkin pie on the holidays. I highly recommend you substituting for your dairy to be healthier.

I chose this verse below because holidays normally bring family together. Remember we all have feelings and situations that others do not know about. Be kind to everyone and always patient.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. James 1:19-20
