Shorter Days, Longer Nights

Bright Idea, 6 x 6 " oil on archival panel, ©2012, Fay Terry

We bought a really cool floor lamp from Crate And Barrel over the week-end and my husband put it together and set it up.  We decided that the bulb included with it was much too dim so we decided to try the maximum wattage it will take.  

What perfect timing, just after I read this week's Daily Paintworks Challenge from Carol Marine! I had fun painting this giant bulb and tonight we can try it in our new lamp.  Thanks, Carol, for another "bright idea".

Piggy Bank

Piggy Bank

This is a painting for this week's Daily Paintworks Challenge.  It felt really nice to work on such a fun challenge titled, "Paint Your Pig".  Well, this is mine and she's a good little saver of coins. I still have my  old bank from my childhood days- it is a heavy little dog made of metal and colorfully painted and can be taken apart into two halves by removing one screw.
