View AllEnjoying Old Times
Located in Fredericksburg, VA
"Enjoying Old Times" by Charles Baker captures a poignant and joyful moment in the life of an older man, immersed in the beauty of nature.

Located in Detroit, MI
This is one of Stanley's exquisite watercolors of the women he painted: friends, students, family, colleagues, models surrounded by their specific interest, their line of work, their area of expertise. Only upon close inspection can the detail and introspection of the artist in relation to his subject be appreciated. Stanley's work is of the quality that can be enjoyed and lived with forever. These women may be specific, but they are also every woman, strong women, and the care and tenderness with which he has rendered them comes through with great power.
