ABOUT ME
Stanley Port
ARTIST - LANDSCAPES, SEASCAPES & FIGURATIVE PAINTINGS
I have been painting for 25 years. This website shows many of my paintings, some available for purchase, some sold in the past, many commissioned and hanging on walls around the world.
Most of my work now comes from commissions. Someone might want a painting with a particular subject of their choice just for themselves. Alternatively a painting can solve the problem of what to give a friend or relation as a present for their brithday, for Christmas, a wedding or as a thank you.

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. I am based in the beautiful town of Marlow on the River Thames in Buckinghamshire, England.
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. Previously a chartered engineer, I hold a PhD, was a Fellow of two UK engineering institutions and a Visiting Professor of Civil Engineering.
