Tranquil Harbor

Tranquil  Harbor, 11 x 14 " oil on gessobord panel, ©2015, Fay Terry

This was painted from a recent photo taken in Port Clyde, Maine. The boat appears to be old with a fresh coat of paint. The reflection in the water was especially fun to paint. I think I would like to paint more of these small boats.

Cyber Monday special,  free frame is included with this painting if you buy it before midnight on December 1st.

Once again there are huge pine cones in the yard, especially after some windy days; they are always fun to paint.  This one is available and if you buy it on Cyber Monday, I will frame it in a lovely black wood Franken frame for free. The background of the painting is red even though it looks a little pink in the bottom photo.

I had fun at Patti Mollica's workshop and I'm feeling very inspired. This is the painting from my studio this morning using some of the things I learned. Patti is an excellent teacher, very well organized, and generously gave us a wealth of information about values, color, and technique.

 

There is always some catching up to do after spending three days away from home but I'm planning on another  painting session later this afternoon.

Who Knows?

Donated

There is an old song that contains the line "who knows where the time goes?", I think it may have been Judy Collins, but I'm not sure.  That's how I feel right now with all there is to do, but I am optimistic because there are still two weeks until Christmas and during that time I know my kitchen will be finished and ready for cooking. That is my major goal since it will make having everyone home much easier and more fun since we always congregate in the kitchen before dinner.

I did another sheep painting to donate to the FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital Auxiliary Ball which Bill and I attended Friday night.  We had a wonderful time dining, dancing, and spending time with friends-all for a very good cause.  This year the ball proceeds will go to support the development of a tobacco cessation program for teens. There are almost no programs in the nation that are specifically tailored to teens despite the fact that data shows that 1 in 4 high school seniors have smoked cigarettes within the last month.

The winner of this painting was quite thrilled with it and of course, that made me even happier.

It is such a good feeling to be able to help out by donating a painting.

Headed To Cape Cod

Headed To Cape Cod

I am very pleased that this painting, which I posted recently, has been juried into a show in Barnstable, Massachusetts.  Maybe some of my cousins who live nearby will get a chance to go and see the show.  It will hang from February 23-March 19, at Cape Cod Art Association.

Pansies bloom here all winter long, but we have had such a mild January that they are really more prolific with their blooms than usual. Soon I will pick some and paint them close up!
