30 Paintings In 30 Days-Day 28

These cherries make the apple look huge. I just made an apple crisp using a favorite easy recipe with oatmeal and brown sugar. This apple was not included so it may be used in another painting. 

There are just two more days of the challenge. This has been the biggest and best so far. 

Camellia

This is a painting that I did a while back and have had lots of nice feedback on.  I didn't realize how many Camellia bushes we have and how different some of them are. There is one blooming right now that has pink and white variegated flowers, but only on parts of the flower, while the rest is a solid pink.

We have our warmest day yet today, already eighty degrees.

I have to admit, these flowers are really fun to paint because each one is different and the dark shiny leaves form a dramatic backdrop for the bright Camellias. This is the first one that has been open far enough to show the pretty yellow center.

Thank you for following my art.

Goodbye Summer

Green Apple, 7 x 5" oil on panel, ©2012, Fay Terry

It has been a while since I painted a small painting that was not square.  I liked using the different format today.  I painted early so that I can spend the rest of the day with my family. 

I have been reluctant to let go of summer but now I am ready.  There may not be any cool weather yet but I feel like I can make a fresh start and get back to doing even more painting.  Back to school time is in my blood because of the many years I taught.  I still miss going back to the classroom at summer's end.

Enjoy the rest of your week-end!

Blue Cup With Apple

6x6" oil

This cup was made by a potter in

Provence and has a lovely feel

to it.  Looks especially nice holding summer

blossoms so you will probably see it again.

Good News:  We have our first grandbaby, Brynlee

Rae, born on 2-25-11.  She is an angel.
