Waiting to Hear

I did this several years ago. I saw it driving down the street in Brownfield, TX.
 It grabbed me and I just had to paint it!
Thank you to all the service men and women who have helped  protect our country  and allow us the freedoms that we have. I am married to a wonderful veteran myself.

Royal Blue Hydrangeas by Texas Flower Artist Nancy Medina


Royal Blue Hydrangeas by Nancy Medina
16X20
Oil on Linen Board


Royal Blue Hydrangeas is a new painting in Flower Mound Studio, and another painting starring my new blue vase. I admit I'm infatuated with my new blue vase. I've painted Sunflowers, then white roses, and now blue hydrangeas in it in the last 3 days. I think of the three, I like the blue hydrangeas the most. I first saw this setup during my Fredericksburg, Texas workshop a few weeks ago. Thanks so much to Linda for bringing this vase with her, and how lucky for me to find one just like it on Ebay a few weeks later!

Mother's Yellow Roses by Kathy Baker Mackey

6 x 6

pallet knife
oil

The above painting was painted quickly and still is a work in progress. My mom remains in the hospital and a friend brought her yellow roses. She enjoyed them so very  much. Once they faded away, she kept talking of them. So, I painted her a small painting to continue enjoying her roses.


Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us....Psalm 90:17

"Sun Drenched IV" ©2012 Niki Gulley
SOLD • 36" x 48" textured painting on wrap around canvas

Sun Drenched IV was inspired by our trip to Provence, France last summer. Our timing was perfect and the sunflowers and lavender were in full bloom. While we came across many fields of lavender, we had to search a little harder for sunflowers. Of course that meant sampling more of the local cuisine and wines for much needed fuel as we looked! (My husband likes to say we have to suffer four our art.)

When we eventually came across these sunflowers, I knew immediately they would make a perfect painting. Their bright, smiling faces as big as dinner plates, the sun dappled path leading you deep into the golden field to the quaint stone farmhouse in the distance, and a beautiful summer day with a few peaceful clouds drifting by made for the ideal subject. The resulting painting is so full of color and texture, and my hope is that when you gaze into it, this piece immediately lifts your spirits and brightens up any spot in your home.

If you're in Chicago this weekend, please stop by my booth at the 57th Street Art Fair where I will be exhibiting more of my sunflower and contemporary landscape paintings, or if you're in the Dallas area, American Fine Art will have about a dozen of my works on display.

Painted Paper Collage Painting ~ California Cupcake 12078 ~ Collage Workshop by Texas Contemporary Collage Artist Nancy Standlee

California Cupcake 12078
Painted Paper Collage Painting on 12x12 gallery wrapped canvas

These cupcakes are getting bigger! The first one was 8x8 and sold, and then a 10x10 has returned from a show and now this 12x12 just finished,  I will use to demonstrate how to varnish a torn paper collage in my one day workshop at the Dutch Art Gallery June 2, 2012. The supply list is at the bottom of each artist's class description and class size is limited. If you are interested in taking any of these one day workshops, contact Pam Massar at Dutchart1@aol.com or call 214 348-7350 on Tues.  Dutch Art website is HERE.http://dutchartusa.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=459&zenid=remtfm31iqjb4vhtlls8pu3lj4

This cupcake collage has paper I've painted, glued dried color spots of palette paper, vintage stamps, recycled book pages, old recipes, and  a California map as a background. You can see the orange highlight of my trip through Vacaville and Fairfield on the way to a Sonoma workshop. This is a good size for a workshop class to work on and will be used when I have a painted paper collage class. 
The one day June 2 class will be on a recycled magazine pages, torn paper class and we will all work on a high heel.

I have a collage exhibit of both torn paper and painted paper paintings at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center until June 28 and you can get dates and times HERE  and this is where the high heel collage sold. 
In the June 2 class we will work on a high heel similar to the one below.
