Painting Large

French Countryside, 30 x 24" oil on canvas, ©2013, Fay Terry

Will be available framed at One Eleven Main, Aberdeen, NC

There are certain travel scenes that I have fallen in love with and this is one of those that I can't seem to get enough of. It was painted from a photo I took on a trip three years ago.  I have painted it several times, each one different from the others.

I will be taking new paintings to OEM this week and if you live nearby, I hope you will visit and take a look. I have been hard at work at my easel, mostly working on large paintings. I know that Betsy, Erin, and Julie have also been working to bring lots of fun, beautiful, and unique items into the store. There is always a tempting array of gifts, clothing, art, and home decor.

The colors above, especially the blues and purples, are a tiny bit more subdued than they appear in the photo.  The afternoon light has changed and I may have to find a new spot outdoors to photograph paintings.
Thanks for viewing my art and following my blog!

Springtime Ahead

Poppy Season, 6 x 6 " oil on archival panel, ©2013, Fay Terry

I love poppies and they are frequently planted along North Carolina highways. This is one flower that I really want to grow in my garden but the seeds must be planted in the fall so I missed the timing for Poppies in 2013.  I'll have to get them started next fall.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this painting from a photo I took several years ago in Italy.

This is painting number thirty for Leslie Saeta's painting challenge that began on January 2nd, which means:  I did it! I made it, and I loved doing it.  Thank you, Leslie, for inspiring so many artists to work so hard.

I will continue painting and posting every day even though this great January event is ending today.

Lots of new painting ideas are already on my list for February so please visit often to see my latest work.

Thank you for your interest in my art!
