He is truly the real thing when it comes to teaching painting from observation. Stanley’s passion for painting is obvious as soon as he starts talking. His approach to painting is filled with humility and a sense of urgency to push forward and make something happen in the process. Drawing becomes essential to his ideas about space. During a teaching session with Stanley, so many great masters become a part of our present day experience; Cezanne, Derain and Constable among many others. Stanley inspires us painters with his conviction to “carry on the task” of painting from life!

Everyone who knows Stanley’s work over the last forty years knows in their hearts he is a true genius and completely unique in American painting today. People should run, not walk to study with him in Italy. This Summer in Italy 2019 is a once in a life time chance to not only work with Stanley but live with him for three weeks; and to take advantage and learn from this amazing painter in ways that would be impossible in a normal school situation. Stanley’s depth of painting knowledge and incredible passion for painting are unparalled.
Thanks Larry for a great article and bringing such a beautiful focus to the man and painter we all love.
