Orange Crush Daisies and Sunflowers, 16X20 Purchase InformationYou are invited!
An Art Show in the Hill Country You are invited to join me for an art show Friday, July 6, in historic Fredericksburg, Texas, at The Good Art Company Gallery from 5 to 8 pm. We'll have wine and foodables and lots of new paintings for my featured artist night at the gallery. I am sad to report her majesty AnnieBee won't be joining me for the show this year, since I will be spinning a few plates with a 3-day workshop happening at the same time as the show, and particularly since any time I am out of her sight for more than 2 seconds she lets out the infamous pig squeal. This noise has been known to shatter double paned storm windows and set off car alarms. It's amusing until it happens in a beautiful gallery surrounded by the glitterati...! I hope you'll join me in Freddy-burg next week, stop in and say hello and eat something yummy and let's have a glass of wine together, or come on out for 3 days and paint pretty flowers with me. I'll save a seat for you. Just look for the gal with green paint on her pug apron. You are invited!

Don't Worry Daisies
18X18, Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Step by Step Daisies & Studio Drama It's been a busy weekend and I have another step by step flower painting to share! Plus I learned some very valuable lessons while working on the sunflower painting video. We're still in the first edit stage, holy cow the folks who edit major motion pictures have my total respect now! I don't yet have my own director's chair but I do have a few more gray hairs.... Here are a few tips from an amateur for you below. - When filming a video in your studio, if you happen to own a dog who has never regurgitated in its life, it will choose a moment when you are filming to regurgitate loudly and with enthusiasm.
- When filming a video in your studio, be forewarned that at a crucial moment in the painting, your easel will most assuredly collapse, causing you to blurt out words on camera you wouldn't say in Sunday school.
- If your husband is doing the filming, even if he has never before seen a painting video, be assured he knows a lot more about what should go into your painting video than you do.
- If you happen to have four pugs in the studio with you during filming, be sure you do not begin filming one hour before the pugs' mealtime, since the elder pug will take it upon himself to find ways to creatively remind you that a mealtime is eminent.
- After you have fired the husband/cameraman, ordered him out of your studio, and exclaimed that it is time to return the new video camera to Best Buy the next day, eat chocolate. Chocolate calms the soul.
- The next morning, after husband/cameraman asks to return to his post and swears to not utter a single word during the entire filming, lock well fed pugs in kitchen and proceed with video.
To be continued... 
Step 1 - the underpainting 
Step 2 - beginning the opaques 
Step 3 - all done but the belly buttons... |
A Delicious Workshop Surprise and a Tennessee Workshop Coming Soon! June 23 was a perfect Saturday, spent with students who shared my unabashed and unashamed and just a bit over the top infatuation with sunflowers! One of us even admitted she has sunflowers painted on (my) her kitchen door! But the big news is my first out of state workshop coming up in September in Collierville, Tennessee. Watch my Workshop Page for Tennessee details! In the midst of all these sunflower confessions Saturday and before painting commenced and yellow paint began to fly hither and yon, we enjoyed a SURPRISE sunflower bundt cake - lemon with creme cheese icing. I'd like to take credit for this delish concoction but this was the sole idea of the hubby, who was on hand to help us set up tables and the indispensable Keurig coffee machine. Although I must say for the record that it was difficult to focus on my demo painting, with a lemony cake whispering "come hither". Here are some photos of the talented Sunflower ladies - I was so proud of them - I wanted to scoop up all their paintings and run out the doors with them exclaiming Mine Mine Mine when they were done! (Note - the bumblebees on top of the cake below were cardboard cutouts. No real bumblebees were harmed in the making of this bundtlette.)
