Memories Of Wine

This is one that I have been wanting to paint for a very long time.  I worked from a photo I took while on a painting trip to France.  We were on a day trip to a beautiful small village where we spent the morning painting.  We met in this park for lunch, to enjoy the wonderful spread made for us by the inn where we were staying in Brantome. Wine had been brought with the lunch and it was a beautiful sunny day in September.

This charming gentleman had been walking all around looking at the morning's paintings on our easels while we worked. Not long after we sat down to lunch he drove up with several dusty old bottles of fabulous wine from his nearby home. 

He uncorked the bottles and poured our wine and was soon on his way after telling us how happy he was to have us painting in his village.

I have so many great memories from that trip!

This is another painting from one of my favorite spots in the Dordogne region of France. There are beautiful buildings and hilly green vistas around every corner.  We had a picnic lunch and then had plenty of time to walk and take photos.

Vines Above The Door, 8 x 10 " oil on canvas panel, ©2012, Fay Terry

Every once in awhile I feel the need to revisit France with a painting of something charming that I saw and photographed.  This candleholder above the door could be reached from the window above it to provide light for visitors and friends.

The shadows on this particular day were very cool and blue.  I wish I could remember the name of the town where this pretty house is.  It is somewhere in the Dordogne region.

If you are thinking of art for a Father's Day gift, this would be a good choice. I have sold several that will be opened on June 17th and I am always excited to help plan a surprise!
