This is one of my favorite vessels to stick small fresh flowers into.  It came home with me from Provence when I went on a painting trip with a group of friends.  I have been busy painting, but not posting as often as usual due to traveling to a portrait workshop for several days last week. I plan to show you some photos soon and tell you  about the wonderful teacher we worked with.

When I arrived home on Saturday, I was thrilled to see my new art book which I pre-ordered many months ago. It is Carol Marine's new book, Daily Painting . Fantastically put together with lots of colorful photos and a complete sharing of everything Carol has learned since she began  painting, it is  the best  resource I have seen for artists who may wish to take up this practice or just learn to paint joyfully.

Camellia In Pink

This Camellia is blooming right below our bedroom window so I spotted it while the sun was on it.  The flowers are large and dramatic, but their glamour is short-lived.  This shrub has variegated flowers, showing up in many interesting variations.

This is the first Camellia painting of the season and there will be more to come.  All of ours are deep rose so maybe I can borrow some from one of my neighbors who has pale pink ones.

I'm off to the beach for the day to deliver some paintings and it's going to be sunny seventies.

Thanks for viewing my art and commenting.

Gray Cup

Camellia With Gray Cup, 10 x 10" oil on canvas panel, ©2013, Fay Terry

$175

I had fun with all the shadows in this one and the colors, too. I decided since the cup was gray I would make everything else a little brighter. Camellias are always good still life subjects and I love the touch of yellow in their centers.

It's hard to believe the week-end is almost over. Where did it go?

Thanks for viewing my blog. I hope you'll leave me a comment, I love hearing from you!
