sea came about when he was giving talks
at schools and a young primary school
pupil commented that he never paints the
sea. Paul promised him that he would. "the
fantastic public feedback inspired me to
create my seascape pieces. to me 'Love Is
Life' has become the embodiment of this
collection. I have tried to capture a timeless
world that represents love and the family,
bringing with it happy memories of family
holidays and a sense that we all need to
love and be loved."
"I love the idea of becoming a storyteller
through my paintings. the wizard character
affords me the opportunity to enter into
another world; to journey to a time of magic
and mystery - a world where anything is
possible!" Hope is another strong theme in
his work, and the sense of anticipation can
be felt in watching the tramp wandering
into town in ‘When the Circus Comes to

The Road To
town’.
