Stanley Port Artist

About

I have been painting for 25 years. I seek commissions from customers who would like paintings either for themselves or perhaps as a birthday or anniversary present for a friend or relative. Maybe you have a home or office that needs paintings on the bare walls. A painting can be a favourite landscape, a view of your garden, house, your pet dog or cat, a townscape, portrait, etc. The subject would be discussed either by phone or email, and could be done from photographs supplied or just from ideas discussed. I am based in the beautiful town of Marlow on the River Thames in Buckinghamshire, England but paintings can be mailed anywhere in the UK. A customer pays a deposit for a painting to be started and the customer only pays the balance if satisfied with the result.

Working with acrylics, I paint many subject genres. Light, contrast and harmonious colour are all-important to me. The light is often fleeting in nature, but can be captured as a permanent record in a painting. I am particularly keen on techniques of atmospheric and linear projection to enhance the feeling of 3-D depth on what is inevitably a 2-D painting surface. The objective is to get mood into the paintings, which hopefully will appeal to all those of you who love nature and beautiful places

As a self-taught artist, I have been a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts for many years. I am a member of local art societies and groups, having exhibited in locations in SE England. I have paintings in collections in the UK, Europe and USA. Prior to becoming an artist, I was a chartered engineer, I hold a PhD, and was a Fellow of two UK engineering institutions and a Visiting Professor of Civil Engineering.
