 Paul has been a painter for nearly forty years working in oils and watercolors. His career began under the purist guidance of Floyd Hackman then flourished with nationally known artists including Betty Lou Schlemm, John Pike, Charles Movalli and has been a protoge' of Zygmund Jankowski of Gloucester MA since 1985. He paints a wide variety of subjects including figure and portraits, still lifes, and landscapes. His extensive painting trips include the Catskill Mountains in New York State and the coast of Massachusettes. Most of the seascapes and dock scenes were painted in the Glouccester and Rockport areas of MA. In the past years he concentrates on the lush countryside and towns of his beloved Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Even though he is a "painterly painter" from his experience on location, he is devoting more time to his barn studio located on his farmette. His work in the studio has produced larger works and affords him the time to study and paint whatever his mood dictates. Not wanting a strict style, he is afforded the luxury of painting how he feels at the time. Over the years he has been collected by both corporate and private patrons. He is a past board member of the Lancaster Art Association and an associate member of the American Watercolor Society since 1981. Paul and his wife Sandy along with their Jack Russell, "Kate", enjoy their home in the heart of the Pennsylvania Dutch Country north of Lititz, PA. |
