Paul expresses land and seascapes through paint and canvas as well as creating pure abstract artworks, exploring textures, colour and shapes.
Originating from the Lake District and having a large portion of my heart there, he is constantly fired up by landscape and it's changing moods. In recent years he has'nt resisted the urge to interpret my vision of scapes and the outdoors less literally and more with texture, and abstracted suggestive shapes, exploring more the feel of a place. Many visits to the Hebrides, Channel Islands and more distant shores is a welcome source of inspiration for his artworks.
Paul has also immersed himself and explored colour, texture, techniques and composition balances and tensions in abstract artworks - devoid of specific objects and reality, allowing the viewer to take in the relationships of shapes, texture and colour, and make a personal interpretation. So much of the texture and colour relationships have echoes of nature and reality, be it tree bark, water surface or even more celestial references.
