More of my favorite flowers are here. I misnamed this set in one of my fliers once, but will get it right here as Flower Set 2. The daffodil painting won a ribbon in the Amity Daffodil Art Show. I will name the paintings for anyone interested in purchasing an 8x10" print of any of these pictures. "The Beauty of Roses", "Backlit Rose", "Mellow Yellow", "Compliments", "Sunflowers", and "A Friend's Gift" are all of the named paintings included in the card set. The prints are $16 each including shipping in the US. The card set is $12 including shipping in the US.

Alaskan Card Set


I lived in Juneau, Alaska for ten years with my family. I taught elementary school there. Juneau is a beautiful place especially on a rare sunny day. These paintings were inspired by the beauty of Juneau. They show my painting style of detailed realism with surreal color. The two paintings can be made into three cards each of the two images for the total of six cards per set. The card set sells for $12 including the shipping within the US. The paintings can also be sold as 8x10" prints for $16 each including shipping in the US.

Terri Dilts, Oregon Artist


I have started this blog as a means of showing my various
card sets and prints that are available to purchase. My entire line will be from the first blog to later continuing ones. I assume prices will change as my expenses increase therefore the earlier blog prices will revert to the most current blog prices shown. I will continually add art work as I create it. Remember, you should look clear back to the first blog since all are available to purchase.
My mission is to create amazing, affordable art and art products for the enjoyment of all. I do the entire process of my work from start to finish by taking the photo, painting the picture, then scanning it into my computer and using the Adobe Photo Shop program to make my art into art products. I believe by having control over the entire process you will get better quality due to my pride in producing my own work. I sell 8x10"prints and 6 blank notecards per set. The card sets are $12 per set with the shipping inside the US. My prints are $16 including shipping in the US. I minored in art in college and have pursued it seriously since retiring from teaching. I have taken several art workshops with impressive artists that are very inspiring. I like detailed realistic paintings with exaggerated color. I hope you will enjoy my work.

Fiji Cardset


This card set has only two scenes in it reflecting the length of time my trip spent in Fiji. I did have time to do a pen and ink sketch on site of the Fiji Hut. Then I added a watercolor wash to recreate the beautiful bright colors of Fiji. The card set uses both scenes with three of each for the $12 per set. The second picture is of one of the fellow travelers with lizards on his clothing and hat that were placed there at the Eco Park in Fiji. I liked the color of his shirt with the lizards and the soft tropical background. These two have been made into prints also. The prints are 8x10s for $16. Many people have used the Fiji Hut print to represent other favorite tropical locations.

Travel Card Sets


A favorite pasttime of mine is traveling. I decided to combine my love of travel with my love of art and create wonderful travel notecards and artwork. First I go on a regular tour and take my camera so I can photograph many wonderful scenes and photos reminding me of the destination. I also take my pen and ink and sketch on my trip to get on site atmosphere into my work. When I return home I paint and turn my travel experience into my 8x10" prints and card sets.

In the area near where I live the hills are covered with vineyards. I love watching the changing scenes as I drive through the area year round.

Flower Set 3


I love to grow flowers. The smell, the colors, the shapes, and the over all beauty intrigue me. My dream is to have my garden look like an English Country perennial garden. It should have an informal pattern and when one flower quits blooming another will take its place. I wish to have bulbs and plants blooming from late winter to late fall. I choose flowers as a painting subject many times. The flowers sell well.
Be sure when you order one of my flower sets to distinguish which you are ordering by using the correct title.

Terri Dilts, Oregon Artist


This is a self portrait. I am a retired elementary teacher that decided to pursue art after becoming widowed and empty-nested.
I moved from Juneau, Alaska back to Oregon. Then began studying art seriously having minored in art in college. I took classes from Barbara Berry, Judy Morris, Jan Kunz, Claudia Nice, Michael Atkinson, and Frank Webb all to speed further along the learning continuum. I sketch in pen and ink on my trips and add watercolor washes. I mainly love painting watercolors. It is a difficult, but challenging media to work in. There are so many different techniques to learn and effects that can be achieved that I enjoy it immensely.
I have worked with two art groups since moving back to Oregon in 2001. The first group was from Bend, Oregon and I am currently in the Grand Ronde Art Guild. We participate in the Amity Daffodil Art Show, the PCL art auction, and the Coastal Hills Art Tour annually. My work is sold at the Spirit Mtn. Casino Hotel gift shop. I also participate at the Tribal Elder's Bazaar held each year in December as well as selling my work through my yearly fliers.
The work posted prior to this that follow on this blog are the first cardsets I created. They are still available to purchase. You can send a check or money order with the number and name of the sets you wish to buy and they will be sent in the mail.

Tea Time Cards


These tea cards were inspired by my niece who owns a tea business. They would work nicely for an invitation to a tea or a thank you of some kind. They also would work for inclusion with a gift.
Shipping is only included in the price for orders within the USA.

This cardset is part of the original work I did in my second
flier. You can order it by sending the information and a check or money order to this address.
