Pink Dusk Peonies is the newest daily painting in Flower Mound Studio, painted amidst confetti and fanfare as my new Florida workshop opened for registration today! We already have registrants for the class, although it was only announced today for the first time. I'm delighted to be teaching in a sunny resort setting in March 2014 just 20 minutes from Ft. Lauderdale. I'll teach three days of indoor/outdoor studio painting from fresh flowers, and on the fourth day will teach a "kinder, gentler" plein air painting workshop. Snacks, some meals, and plenty of sunshine will be included so don't delay. What say we paint flowers all day and wiggle our toes in the sand after class each evening!

High Altitude Yellow Roses was my class demonstration this morning. Roses can be a tough subject to tackle in a workshop, so I shared a tip with my students: deconstruct the fresh rose you are painting. Tear off every petal, leaving about 10 petals only. Focus, with a good light source, just on those petals. Simplify your life. Simplify your rose. You are the boss of your flowers! Thus, the cascade of loose yellow petals in the foreground of my setup, below. I love finding ways to make flower painting easier. Put a little joy in your brush and let's make brilliant flowers bloom in oils! June and July are full, but there are still seats open in August!

Blue Shadows White Hydrangeas was one of seven class demonstrations completed during my three day workshop that ended Sunday in North Texas. We did an intensive study of white flowers, starting with white irises and ending with white hydrangeas, on the first two days. I love painting white flowers, there are so many colors you can put into white petals, into the shadows and the highlights both. The white irises for our class paintings were cut directly from my iris garden, which was in full bloom this morning. I've posted photos of my iris garden on the art blog today, including one starring my little garden helper, Howard Pee Pugpants himself!
