He currently resides in Bloomfield,Connecticut, with his wife Paul has been painting since age 15, but found himself drawn to marine subjects after his first visit to the island of Martha’s Vineyard 30 years ago. He became inspired by its rich maritime history as well as the beautiful effects of light and atmostphere that are found near the ocean. Starting with a preliminary value sketch, Paul develops his paintings using multiple layers of color from a limited palette. His finished Paintings are highly expressive works that often feature the luminous skies and muted colors that define his subject in different atmospheric conditions. He enjoys studio painting as well as plein air. |
