I love a good abstract landscape and Mike Staniford is doing a great job of it. He lives in Sydney, Australia, but also paints in plein air in places like Tasmania, Italy and Cornwall, England. I love both his sketchbooks in gouache and his acrylic paintings on wood panels. I resonate with his color sense and the fluidity of his gestural strokes. He likes trees as much as I do, and also seems to be a really nice guy.
You can see a lot of his work in this post. I recommend following him on Instagram. You can learn more about him on his website here, and note that if you want to buy his work, he ships worldwide.
sorry is he single?
Nope. Married to a wonderful woman for a very long time, an accomplished artist herself. They travel and teach classes together. I’ve known about her work for a long time, and only recently about him, as they are currently having a show together.
Nice!
I really like his Art! Vibrant ~ Joyous ~ Free!
Thank you for sharing….both you and he.
