Shall I Ring The Doorbell?

Let Me In !

Family Adventure

Island Time, 24 x 12" oil on canvas, ©2012, Fay Terry

SOLD

I was feeling ambitious so I decided to try a beach painting in a different format. I always love doing long paintings which are especially good when your subjects are all moving in one direction. This family was just coming onto the beach at Bald Head Island when my friend and I were finishing our morning walk.

Everyone is loaded down with beach stuff except the excited little girl who can hardly wait to get to the ocean.

This painting is going to the Summer Regional show at Franklin Square Gallery in Southport, N.C.

Inquiries may come to me.

Plein Air In The Backyard

I liked Karen Werner's idea in a recent post. I decided to emulate her and paint in my own backyard which was so much more fun than packing everything up and driving to a spot to paint.

I started early this morning and it worked out well because it was in the mid eighties not long after I finished. This dog has been faithfully holding the basket for about fifteen years and is perched on a low brick wall beside some steps. These are some new and tiny little petunias that we found at Lowe's last week-end, said to be very drought resistant.
