A Texan's Viewpoint on the European Kiss - White Tulips - Nancy Medina Art Classes and Workshops
The Kiss - White Tulips
by Nancy Medina
16X16
Oil on Deep Gallery Wrap Canvas
There is just something about that
European greeting, the kiss, that always takes me by surprise. Not that I don't
like it, I could get used to it, but being a gal from Texas, we were taught
"The Hug" rather than "The Kiss" and so going in for the
hug and suddenly getting lips on your cheek is like discovering you're doing
the Cotton Eyed Joe when your partner was intent on the Texas Two Step. It's
really just a different point of view on a greeting, and one that is much
warmer, even than a hug. Like I said, I could get used to this whole European
thing! And it's a good thing, since my France workshop is coming up in August.
Mon cher, I must pack again soon!
For now I'm finally back on Texas
time, the unending rains have cut off the main road into and out of Flower
Mound, and I'm so thankful, yet again, to be a work at home artist! We're not
paddling around in boats, though it sure looks like it from the national news.
Not to worry, I have plenty of Dove chocolate and crackers and cheese. I can
hold up literally for days on such awesome rations!
Here's a new video I created for you - break out the popcorn and enjoy a view of my workshop in Tuscany last week! Next stop, France!

Escape to Southern France!

Thunder in Tuscany and 1000 Years of Prayer - Nancy Medina Art Classes and Workshops
Thunder Red Geraniums

Class Demonstration, Tuscany, Italy
Thunder rolled across the Tuscan hills last night, blasting light in bolts that shook the ground and threw out the power for a short time during our dinner hour at San Fedele in the Chianti region of Italy. We grabbed our wine glasses, cameras, and other valuables from tables on terraces overlooking vineyards and ran into the chapel to escape a drenching rain. As black clouds moved quickly across hills that had seen the boots of the Gestapo, the soft tread of monks, and the footprints of local farmers, it seemed only fitting to find sanctuary in a place where prayer had been given for 1000 years.

Salute from Tuscany!
