On My Easel

More work on this tomorrow. I set up this still life in my studio and will finish it tomorrow. You'll be happy to know that it will not contain pink stripes once it is completed. So far it has been fun and I hope to get an early morning start. 

Thanks for looking at my blog.

The Short Version

Short Stem, Long Leaf, 6 x 6 " oil on panel, ©2012, Fay Terry

I used to think that sunflowers must go in a tall vase to accommodate long stems, but ideas change.  This tiny pot is my vase today with a small cup inside to hold water. I found the lilac colored pot at Crate And Barrel accompanied by the cutest little matching saucer in the world.  Did I remember to use the saucer in the painting? No, indeed, I was in too much of a hurry to start painting my morning still life set-up. This calls for another use of my latest purchase very soon.  You're going to love it with the saucer!

The Last Of The Almonds

The Last Of The Almonds

6 x 6 in. oil

I love to eat almonds-they get me through

the day and keep me from getting too

hungry while I am working.  Now I

need to re-stock because these

were eaten after the painting was finished.

Blue Cup With Apple

Blue Cup With Apple

6x6" oil

This cup was made by a potter in

Provence and has a lovely feel

to it.  Looks especially nice holding summer

blossoms so you will probably see it again.

Good News:  We have our first grandbaby, Brynlee

Rae, born on 2-25-11.  She is an angel.
