We have a Peter Stanaway oil painting hanging above the fireplace in our living room. A friend asked online about it, so I searched for the blog post that we did about him. I couldn’t believe that we hadn’t done one; so here it is!
Peter Stanaway (b. 1943) is a Greater Manchester born, bred and trained painter. His work was influenced by Keith Vaughan. Fernand Léger and William Roberts. His subject matter, unsurprisingly, is often post-industrial views of Manchester and its environs; especially city streets, disused mills & chimneys and canals & locks. He also paints coastal and fishing scenes of Yorkshire, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and further flung locations.
