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!

Boats

Bright Boats, 12 x 16 " oil on canvas, ©2014, Fay Terry

I have worked on this painting since my recent post of the first version. I decided to change and improve it so that it would have more of a sunlit look. I made the middle values darker and strengthened the shadows inside the boats. It was a challenge, but I know it will help me with the future boat paintings I am looking forward to doing. I hope to paint this scene again on a larger canvas. 

This one is being donated to the O'Neal School annual silent auction, which is always in February.

I was attracted to the light and shadows first, but then I liked the fact that each pumpkin seemed to have its own personality and they all looked like good friends getting together for a picnic.

This had a busy background of people walking past which I chose to leave out. I am trying out a new canvas panel by Raymar and I like it but I have some others I want to paint on before I order more.

I still like gessobord, especially for the small square paintings, but it's fun to try new materials.

It was my intention to post this yesterday for National Pumpkin Day, but it got too dark to photograph it.

 Did you know the world record pumpkin weighs 2,032 pounds and was grown in the Napa Valley?

Sunlit Greens

Sunlit Greens

Standing inside the fence, watching the leaves blowing despite a temperature of ninety one degrees, I watched the sun flit back and forth over the leaves and the colors kept changing.
