Over the weekend I was given the very sad news that my good friend Richard Stanley passed away after having cancer for two years. I remember when I first me Richard on the first day of art college at Falmouth and clicking with him straight away. He had a wonderfully self deprecating sense of humour and silliness, an eye for absurdity (Cornwall was rich pickings) and an incredible warmth.
But what I wanted to celebrate here is his extraordinary artworks. Please do take a moment to enjoy them. If you would like to see any more his landscapes can be found at http://www.richardstanleygallery.com/ and his illustritive work at http://www.artistpartners.com/portfolios/richard_stanley/index.html
Love you Rich and thanks for all the laughter and silliness.
Beautiful work.
