Rose of Sharon and White Hydrangeas was my seventh class demonstration at my flower painting workshop in St. Louis a few weeks ago. Eighteen students painted in oils and acrylics to produce paintings of geraniums, hydrangeas, daisies, and sunflowers during three days in the beautiful historic district near The Hill. I wanted to be sure the white hydrangeas stood out, so I made the white china pot a bit more golden and subdued. The fresh Rose of Sharon flowers were a gift from Tina, one of my talented students, and were that sweet bit of color pop that set off the whole arrangement. You can see the fresh flowers that inspired Rose of Sharon below. 

The flower models take a bow!

Do you ever get this urge to just make bright, juicy color in oils? Color Burst Blue and White Hydrangeas was a response to the big, fluffy flowers in my studio today, left over from my Dallas workshop this weekend. These fresh hydrangeas are not going to last much longer, so I wanted to take advantage of their perkiness while it lasted.

I'm very excited to announce my first St. Louis, Missouri workshop, Painting Florals in Oil, to be held July 12, 13 and 14. The workshop was posted this morning, and the organizer sent me a note a few moments ago excited about how many people have signed up already! St. Louis is my home town, so I'm delighted to be teaching there, in such a beautiful place with so much history and culture, not to mention great restaurants and a beautiful botanical garden! Meet me in St. Louis for a fun three days of making flowers bloom in bright color.
