William Stanisich Art

American, b. 1947

William Stanisich is an American artist born in 1947 in Cheyenne, Wyoming. He was raised in San Francisco and attended public and private high schools. Stanisich taught painting and humanities at The Urban School of San Francisco 1972–99. He explores the world in search of the spiritual essence of light. The forms he photographed in San Francisco are later realized in his studio, in paintings that are at once abstract and realistic. Executed on a scale not normally associated with watercolor, the artist boldly celebrates the natural light of day as well as the man-made lights of night. Stanisich is currently a full-time painter in San Francisco.

India Watercolour RCA Architect Painting Palace Udaipur Lake Travel Orange Blues

Located in Norfolk, GB

There is something compelling about drawings and sketches made by architects. Loose and full of life this delicious little study, made on the spot, beautifully captures the essence of place. Made during one of Patterson's early tours to India it shows the gloriously majestic Palace Museum in Udaipur, Rajasthan, which sits on the highest point overlooking Lake Pichola and the City. The delicate wash of terracottas, pinks and reds offers us the feel of sun on the old stones.
