Purple and Gray

Picked Pansy, 6 x 6 " oil on panel, ©2014, Fay Terry

SOLD

Here's another Pansy that I painted a while back. I like the gray background and the soft edges of the flower. Glass jars are fun to paint, but usually challenging.

This has been a great week-end since we spent it at the beach.  It was cool, but sunny and we had a fun and relaxing time. I worked at the gallery Saturday afternoon; we were pretty busy and sales were brisk. 

I hope you had some fun with family and friends this week-end, and maybe some sunshine, too.

Patti's Tulips, 6 x 6 " oil on panel, ©2013, Fay Terry

$100

These tulips were painted from a photo that Patti Mollica let us use in her workshop. She takes wonderful photos and generously shared them with her students.

I love the colors in this painting and the small glass jar was fun to paint, but I could paint these tulips many times and not tire of them.

Have a wonderful week-end and thanks for viewing my art.

End Of Day Painting

Fay Terry, FLOWERING HERB, 6 x 6 " oil on panel

I was on the beach this morning at seven o'clock walking with my poodle, Camden.  On second thought, I was walking and she was running non-stop, cavorting across sand bars and crashing into waves. The best part was that we were the only ones on the beach for the whole time we were there. The day got busier after that.

I dropped off some paintings at the gallery in Southport, photographed a large flock of Ibis that will be great painting material, and replaced a battery in a smoke detector before driving back to Pinehurst.  The temperature was ninety one when I arrived home and I wanted to relax with a large glass of ice tea.

Instead I picked a handful of chives and went into my studio.  The result is shown above and reminds me that  even doing a painting at the end of a long day feels good.
