S-Port

Stanley Port has been painting for 15 years. As a keen photographer, he captures a multitude of inspiring subjects during his travels around the world, and these provide ideas for future paintings. Of course, a little artists licence is used. A sky can be modified, a tree moved or objects eliminated. Light, contrast and harmonious colour are all important. Having seen the light, it can be stunning and dramatic, always illuminating, but usually fleeting in nature, so he works hard to capture it as a permanent record in his paintings. The objective is to get mood into paintings, which will appeal to all those who love nature and beautiful places. He works with acrylic paint, mostly on stretched box canvases or boards. Many of his paintings can be viewed on this website. Stanley has been a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts for many years. He is a member of local art societies and groups, and has exhibited in many locations in the southeast of England.
