Island Afternoon

Island Afternoon, 9 x 12 " oil on linen panel, ©2015, Fay Terry

This was a fun painting to do while it has been raining all day.  I was at least thinking of a sunny day while I worked. I have painted this scene before and it was on a much smaller scale. I am planning to do an even larger one after I make a few adjustments to this.

My Gardenias have just begun to bloom so I will be painting those when the rain stops. I have been cutting them and bringing their sweet scent into the house. Not everyone loves them, but I surely do.

Isn't this bunny beautiful?  I haven't seen him for a few days so I'm glad I was able to snap some good photos a while back.  He loves eating my Daylillies; they are just beginning to come into bloom. This painting would look great in just about any room of your home and I will send it with a free tabletop display easel so you can enjoy it right away.

In other news, the women's US Open Golf tournament is proving to be an exciting match. Our community has enjoyed hosting all these world class golfers, men and women, for two weeks. Can't wait to see who wins on Sunday.

I spotted these flowers on the way home from yoga this morning and they were practically glowing in the morning sun. This one will get a little bit more work done on it in the next few days, then I'll post it again.

Thanks for viewing my art!

It's so nice to see the sun in the morning while I'm having my coffee. I will never take sunny days for granted now that this winter has been so unusually gray. There have been fewer bright days than we normally have here.

I am happy with the colors in this painting and I am still enjoying Patti Mollica's book on color and learning a lot.

Here is some bright color for your week-end enjoyment.  I am often asked to paint more chickens, they surely are popular.  This time I used a warmer red and played it against one of my favorite blues, Sennelier Blue.

Spring Warmth

Any Day Now, 6 x 6 " oil on archival panel, ©2013, Fay Terry

This painting is a celebration of spring and I had fun using some of my favorite bright colors to make a warm painting of these perky flowers. Daffodils are such wonderful flowers and can transform a landscape with their shapes and color.

It feels good to be back in my studio. I just returned from a trip to Arizona, where my husband attended a meeting.  We had a great time, in spite of the unseasonably cold temps and a full day of rain on Friday. It was gorgeous yesterday when we left and this week will be sunny days in the eighties. 

I did get to see some fabulous art in the galleries in Scottsdale.

Interestingly, we discovered that Arizona is one of only two states that does not go to daylight savings time.

I pre-posted paintings for the days I was gone, because I was ahead on my dailies.

Thanks for looking at my art!

Plenty Of Sunshine Headin' This Way

Plenty Of Sunshine

What a difference one day can make.  My friend Teej and I skipped our early morning walk today because it was raining a little still and we figured the trail probably got washed away in places from the driving rains yesterday and last night. Naturally, it was sunny and beautiful a couple of hours later.  For some reason I had way too much energy today and decided to get a head start on Fall house cleaning even though we are not very close to that changeover here in NC yet.  It was great though,  and everything is beginning to sparkle-Bill even noticed when he came home. I have to admit, I do love to clean, especially washing windows. But....I'd rather be painting!

Some of you may remember the painting of the baby lettuce

plants.  I am happy to report that their beautiful green-ness

provided me with another painting-op today.  It rained most of the day

with intermittent bursts of sunshine, at which time I picked lots of lettuce.
This was really fun to paint.
