Growing Wild

Beautiful Climber, 6 x 6 " oil on archival panel, © Fay Terry, 2015

The Wisteria is just beginning to bloom here but is still not as profuse as what we saw in Charleston last week end. One of my favorite spots to paint this lovely vine was recently ripped out by the town and was blocking the view of traffic near an intersection. I will find some new places to paint it; but just in case, I took some nice photos of it thriving in South Carolina.

These flowers are blooming everywhere in my neighborhood in cute little clumps of color.  When I was in Chapel Hill recently I walked by hundreds of them. I love seeing them popping up as if they are saying, "wake up, it's spring!"  The Forsythia and Hyacinths are in full bloom and the Wisteria vines growing on the roadside trees cannot be far behind.

I spent some more time working on this painting that I posted at the beginning of the week. I knew I wanted to do more and I am happy with it now and thinking of doing it later in a larger format. 

I'm looking forward to the week-end and spending time with family.

Hope you have a great week-end!

Most of the Wisteria that grows wild is fading away so there are not too many more opportunities to paint it except...  We have a new Wisteria vine that we ordered last year from a nursery in South Carolina. It is a hybrid plant just coming into bloom and looks as if it's going to be really pretty on our Pergola. Perhaps there will be some more paintings of these beautiful flowers this spring.
