"Enthusiasm" - 5 x 7 inch Oil on Hardboard

Orange roses are a mixture of red and yellow roses and have a high level of energy encircling them.  Maybe it's the color,  the resemblance of the sun or warmth of a glowing sunset.  They are often associated with passion, excitement and enthusiasm.  This rose has a glow about it and was accomplished by glazing.

"Ruby Red Again - Pastel on Suede"


Pastel on Black Suede
12" x 24"
by Terry Ann Stanley

This painting is similar to the painting earlier displayed. The previous painting was done in oil while this one is painted with pastel on black suede. The black suede is a deep black and brings out the color red. I love working on suede. The pastel adheres quite well to the suede and gives it a rich look. You can reach me at terrystanley@cox.net

"Ruby Red - Wine Glass with Red Roses"


5 x 7 inch Original Oil on hardboard
by Terry Ann Stanley (www.terrystanleyart.com)

I love the color ruby red. I thought I would try to paint a couple of red objects. This is what I was able to produce. I will try to produce a better photo at a later date. I painted this on a primed hardboard. I decided I would not sand the surface smooth. It had what I thought was a little tooth but when I started painting, it felt like a lot of tooth. For this painting, I did not like painting on this rough surface but I could see it being useful in another application.

"Country Roses 1"


8 X 10 inch Original Oil Painting
by Terry Ann Stanley (www.terrystanleyart.com)

I love country looking things. I am typically a more realistic painter but wanted to try a little more impressionistic style and to complete a painting within a time limit. This is the result. I would like to paint more in this style.
