I love the colors in this one! Hope you like this gorgeous glimpse of Wisteria as much as I do.

It looks very delicate, but is such a strong plant, quickly claiming its territory on trees and trellises.  I will probably be painting a few more of these sweet scented blooms so stay tuned!

In other news, if you are in Charleston, SC, I hope you will visit the 2015 Charleston Symphony Designer Showhouse. You will see many of my small daily paintings for sale upstairs in the boutique.  The house, located at 50 Hassell Street is the St. Johannes Lutheran Church Parsonage.  It was built in 1846  and has recently  undergone an amazingly gorgeous makeover. It will be open through April 19, 10-4 Monday-Saturday & 1-4 Sunday so don't miss it.

Sign Of Spring

Crocuses are so wonderful! They have been known to peek out from the snow, but not these.  They are enjoying the sun which we have had in abundance today.

Happy Anniversary to my fabulous husband!

There are lots of these Iris blooming and many more will be opening up in the next few days. I used dioxanine purple for this flower, and it turned out very close to the exact color.

This has been a beautiful week-end, especially early in the morning today.
We walked around reservoir park almost at the break of dawn. We didn't want to waste a minute of this gorgeous Sunday.

Isn't spring amazing?

It's been a beautiful day in Pinehurst and also in Cary where I went to a plein air paint out and met up with some new and old friends.

This is the tenth and final chicken in the series I have been painting. It sure was fun and now I am ready to approach some new subject matter.

We spent the week-end in Asheville where we had a great time. We saw some wonderful art as we visited some of our favorite shops and galleries and even had the fun of waking up Sunday morning to a beautiful snowfall.  

Garden Produce

Handpicked, 6 x 6 oil on panel, ©2013. Fay Terry

These were picked from our garden the other day and I set them up in my studio to paint.  Sunlight was coming from the skylight creating a strong shadow on my tabouret where they were lounging on a red checked napkin. They are the most beautiful color and will be part of dinner very soon.

I am excited about all that is coming from our vegetable plants right now-lots of tomatoes, peppers, okra, and eggplants. It's almost time to start the Fall garden.

Thanks for viewing my art , I love hearing from you.

Daisies

These daisies are growing really well where I planted them just after Patti Mollica's workshop last month. They were in a very small pot and were getting restless wanting more space. They seem to love this sunny spot in the yard and I watch them get a little bigger every day.

After The Rain

First Blooms, 8 x 8 " oil on archival panel, ©2013, Fay Terry

SOLD

We had over three inches of rain last night and when the sun finally came out everything just seemed to glow. I looked at these on Friday and the buds were tightly closed but this morning they had begun to open and show their gorgeous colors.

This one turned out just as I envisioned it, or maybe I should say, just like my value sketch that I did before I started it. 

Pansies

Purple And White Pansy, 6x6" oil on museum quality panel

This is one of the giant pansies we planted in September and they are blooming up a storm.  This bloom was so large it just kind of draped itself over the edge of the vase.  I don't usually pick the pansies because they are so much prettier on the plant where they will stand up tall and show their colorful faces but I wanted to paint this particular one.

I hope you are having a  wonderful week-end.  We are enjoying being outdoors in the sun even though it is a little chilly.
