Caitlin's Roses, 9 x 12" oil on panel, ©2014, Fay Terry

My daughter and I are very fortunate that my husband loves giving us flowers. These are birthday flowers given to my daughter yesterday and  I decided to act quickly to paint them while they are very fresh and lovely. The roses started out as white with bright pink edges and now they are becoming pale pink at the bottom and still very deep pink closer to the top of the flower.

Have a great week end and thanks for viewing my art.

Say It With Flowers, 16 x 20" oil on canvas, © Fay Terry, 2013

available

This painting is one of several larger ones I have been working on and I am pleased with the way it turned out. My husband gave me these roses on my birthday and I began the painting right away because I love painting roses before they open up. It's a good thing I took a photo as well because they changed so much each day and now their look is totally different.

The Han vase, patterned after Han dynasty examples and glazed in Chinese blue, was made by my friend Ben Owen III, from Seagrove, North Carolina.

This will be going to a gallery soon, so contact me if you are interested.
