Say It With Flowers, 16 x 20" oil on canvas, © Fay Terry, 2013
available
This painting is one of several larger ones I have been working on and I am pleased with the way it turned out. My husband gave me these roses on my birthday and I began the painting right away because I love painting roses before they open up. It's a good thing I took a photo as well because they changed so much each day and now their look is totally different.
The Han vase, patterned after Han dynasty examples and glazed in Chinese blue, was made by my friend Ben Owen III, from Seagrove, North Carolina.
This will be going to a gallery soon, so contact me if you are interested.
Fay this painting is stunning. So lovely to have this treasure from your birthday with a special hand made vase.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much I love about this, the color, the beautiful roses, the vase, I want to run my hand over its smooth side, but I love the almost non existent shadow behind. You captured it all.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting! I especially like how you handled the leaves. They have wonderful color and value. Good choice to paint them on a large canvas.
