Paul has been painting and drawing since his early twenties and has applied his natural aptitude and enthusiasm for the visual arts as a vehicle for personal enjoyment, and aspires to produce work that others appreciate.
Over the past three years, he has been a member of the Deep Lanes Art Collective, and has found it a valuable way to improve his skills through the friendship and feedback from fellow artists.
Since retiring fifteen years ago, and initially working with watercolour and acrylic, he now works mainly with oils on canvas as his preferred medium. He is notable for his treatment of light and shadow in his work.
He owes much of his inspiration to the late James Ravilious, the son of Eric Ravilious, possibly one of the greatest English artists of the 20th century for his friendship, now sadly missed, and for his wonderful photography, recording images of a disappearing Devon.
