Holiday Hydrangeas and Rose Hips 20X20 Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Purchase Information Driving Miles & Miles for Flowers Holiday Hydrangeas and Rose Hips is the newest painting in Flower Mound Studio, the fruit of my latest sojourn to the Central Market *insert sound of trumpets* flower shop. This trip, I had an absolutely perfectly legitimate reason to be buying dozens of new flowers, since I had a student coming to the studio the very next day. I was on my way to the cash register with my arms loaded with lovely blossoms when I caught sight of a bunch of winter white hydrangeas and red rose hips a customer had wrapped in brown paper on the counter. My heart went pitty pat as I quickly exchanged a few selections for this new bunch of flowers, with some nice greenery for holiday backup. My treasures didn't even raise an eyebrow on the checkout gal at Central Market *insert sound of trumpets*, where the staff is accustomed to elite clientele unlike yours truly, who happily digs through the Used Flower Bin every week at Tom Thumb. 
The studio models take a bow. |

Crepe Myrtle Lane - Dallas Arboretum 11X14 Oil on Linen www.nancymedina.com A Stroll Down Memory Lane I've been hard at work in the studio on a new series of paintings at the Dallas Arboretum. People ask where I find inspiration to paint flowers in the dreary Texas winter months - when I'm not loading my shopping cart with store bought blossoms, a trip to the Dallas Arboretum always wakes up the muses. Crepe Myrtle Lane was fun to create, and began with transparent oils in a watercolor type wash. When I began painting in earnest, I worked exclusively in water color. I love when opportunities to intersect painting styles happen like this. Back then, I traded my paintings to help pay rent and buy furniture and other necessities while trying to make ends meet with a $32,000 per year job in Santa Barbara, California. Paintings, a full time magazine job, and four roommates were usually just enough to make sure my soul dog Buddy and I had enough to eat and a roof over our heads. We didn't need much, besides groceries and paints - the beautiful thing about Southern California is the beach is free!
