Birds and Roses and a North Texas Workshop by Flower Artist Nancy Medina

Oil on Archival Panel



Birds and Roses is the newest small work in Flower Mound Studio, as I pack up the brushes, paints, palette and fresh flowers for my North Texas workshop this weekend. I have 13 students coming from across Louisiana and all parts of the Lone Star State, and I'm triple excited to bring in a batch of lovely new blossoms I found at Central Market *sound of harps* this afternoon. It is a little splurge to drive to Southlake, Texas, to sample the wares at Central Market *sound of harps* but they always have the best selection. I haven't decided yet if Little Bird is coming to class yet, we shall see what the muses say in the morning, if my mind isn't too distracted by the idea that I will be REQUIRED to pick up a few dozen fresh donuts from my undisclosed absolute best place to get donuts in Flower Mound, Texas, because this little donut shop DOUBLE GLAZES their donuts. No I'm sorry, please don't ask. I just cannot share this place, nor the address, nor nearby landmark hints. Otherwise I'd be standing in a line fourteen-gazillion miles long!

SOLD ~ Into the Air Pink Poppies and $400 Worth of Paint by Flower Artist Nancy Medina

Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas



Into the Air Pink Poppies is the newest painting in Flower Mound Studio, and it's good to be home after a whirlwind trip to Coronado Island for my solo show at Art and Frames by Wood Gallery in Southern California. It was a wonderful show, with so many good friends in attendance, the most scrumptious refreshments you ever tasted, and enough sales to pay for the trip! *confetti*

A few weeks ago, I received a $1000 gift card from my editorial board as a thanks for my work on the magazine. It took me all of five minutes to spend half of it. It was like being on a game show or something! In case you are wondering what $400 worth of paint looks like, I've shared a photo on my art blog today! I'm not quite sure why the song "Isn't She Lovely" runs through my mind every time I see all that fresh new paint! The smallest tube of all is the new one I tried today for this pink poppy painting.
