Terry Stanley Art: 2014

Friday, November 21, 2014

I have been working hard on some paintings of the parks here in OC. This is one of my favorites. This is the historic dam in Santiago Oaks Park. A beautiful dam with lots of turtles. I have painted an artist up on the hill.

"Corona Del Mar" 6" X 12" oil on board

Had lots of fun creating a the painting lesson for my students so I created a new one in my style. This is a painting I created from a photo I took many years ago. The day was overcast so I changed it into a beautiful sunset.

"Peter's Canyon before the Drought" 6" x 12" Oil on Panel

Had lots of fun creating a studio impressionistic painting. My typical style is realism but wanting to touch a bit in the plein air style.

"Corona Del Mar Lesson for Students"

Had lots of fun creating a new painting for my students. This is a painting I created from a photo I took many years ago. I used only 3 colors + white to created it. Sure keeps the expense of paints down.

"Painting in New Hampshire"

Thursday, July 31, 2014

"Crawford Notch, NH - Work in Progress" - 16 x 10" Oil on panel

Our second and fourth day out on our trip to New Hampshire we visited a site called Willey House at Crawford Notch. This site also contains a famous pool called "Dismal Pool" but is not what you see here in the painting. There is a sign at this site that mentions the Hudson River School painters and their inspirations around this area. Had to stop for a Black Bear on the road!

This is how the painting started and painting outside you experience many flies ......

"Presidential Range, NH" - 12 x 6" Oil on panel

Our third day out on our trip to New Hampshire we visited a site where the Hudson River School painters painted. This site you see two different views - The Moats and The Presidential Range. I chose to paint the Presidential Range. The big mountain in the front is Mt. Washington!

"Jackson Falls, NH work in progress" - 8x10" Oil on panel

This is a work in progress. I took my first plein air class this month of July 2014. Had such a wonderful time. Enjoyed every minute including the black bears I ran into. There were 8 of us in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. This site of Jackson Falls was the last site we visited. I will post some more photos later of the other sites. Loved the site, the teachers and the students. So enjoyable!

"Cliff Palace, Mesa Verde" - 16 x 12" Oil on panel

Visited many American Indian dwellings a couple of years ago and thought I would try a landscape painting. I am happy with how it turned out and it recently was judged into the Orange County Fair.

"lil' Corona Del Mar" - 11 x 14" Oil on panel

Had a great time taking photos and composing this painting in Corona Del Mar. This is the first time I have created an ocean scene and had a great time playing with colors.
