About
Drawn by the beauty of the wonderful Cornish coastline and quality of light, Paul has been living and painting near Falmouth since the late 1990's.
Although painting a variety of subject Paul continually returns to landscapes and the dynamic interplay between the land and the sea. Through the medium of oil paint, he explores the vibrant hues and textures of coastal landscapes, reflecting on the sea’s ever-changing moods. He has a clear visual language: rugged coast, reflected light on water, textured oil paint and a calm-but-powerful sense of movement.
Using a bold colour palette and expressive brushwork Paul conveys a sense of immediacy, inviting viewers to engage with the energy and rhythm of the seascape. Using oil paints to create fresh, colourful and unique views of Cornwall, Paul’s artwork is a celebration of the coast, capturing the essence of the shoreline’s beauty and fostering a greater appreciation for the natural world. Paul brings his paintings alive with detail, from the intricate patterns in the waves to the texture of the cliffs and play of light and shadow on the land.
Paul enjoys the mindful process of sketching and painting outdoors when he can, returning to his studio, near Falmouth, to take pleasure in the process of experimenting with techniques and effects. He always find new and exciting places in Cornwall to visit, often returning to the same haunts, as no scene is ever quite the same, everything is always changing, particularly the light and the tide.
