Stanley Gardiner was born in Reading and studied art at Reading University, then at Art College in Arbroath. After a period working in America, he returned to England to serve during World War 1. He and his wife moved to Lamorna in Cornwall in 1922, where he became a successful artist and part of the famous Lamorna artists group there. He exhibited widely and was greatly liked and respected. He became the last of the professional Lamorna artists and carried on the tradition of plein air painting. His work is stylish and much sought after.

This original watercolour painting by Lamorna artist Stanley Gardiner depicts a winding country road close to Fowey in South Cornwall. The road is barely more than a track, with no markings, and it bends to the left as we view the painting, dipping from sight. The road is flanked by impressively tall trees. In the background is a wide rounded hill, along the top of which similar trees are silhouetted against the sky.  The palette is rich and earthy, autumnal even, and there is a magical atmosphere to this scene. Nearby Fowey is a port town and civil parish at the mouth of the River Fowey on the coast of Cornwall. The whole area is exceptionally beautiful.
