Apparently I didn't pick up a closing char when I copied the second link. Clones will be asked to delete the preceding.
eric the red –
I find a number of sites with a search for Stan Hugil, but they all appear to be in several languages foreign to me. Google suggested the alternative "Stan Hugill," and if did find two links, apparently to the same person as "Stan Hugil" at:
Stan Hugill 1 - appears to be a "memorial site/page." Has about 2 dozen paintings, which they say are "representative" of about 250 he did during retirement, althought the captions indicate a long span during which he painted actively(?).
Stan Hugill 2 appears to be the "home page" for the same "Stan Hugill" site. Although I got to this one via a separate search result that made it look like it was a different site, the link to his paintings was "cookied," so I believe this is the "home" for both.
The paintings are impressive, but unfortunately are "presented" at very low resolution, even in the "big" views, and several seem to have been photographed or scanned "through the glass," since there seem to be "reflections" that obscure the detail. They're definitely worth a better look.
A quick search in my normal "art" circles didn't show another place to get a better sampling of his work, but it should be worth poking around for. I'll try to make some "side searches" as I pass through some sites that might have something that doesn't show in the major search machines.
