PAUL S. BROWN | Dordogne
21" x 31" / 54 x 79 cms
Oil on Panel
This beautiful original oil painting by Paul S. Brown depicts a classic French kitchen still life, centred around a carafe of red wine.
Paul’s focus is universal beauty, and in pursuit of this he enjoys painting all subjects, concentrating on the nude and still life but also producing portraits and landscapes. He is an exquisite draftsman, and his perfectly composed works are rich with atmosphere and detail. Paul has an immeasurable talent for finding the beauty in all objects, be that a ball of twine and terracotta pots found in his garden shed or dusty vintage bottles of wine, ready to be poured as a delectable treat for a connoisseur.
A true Classical Realist, Paul’s focus is on universal beauty. He upholds rigorous standards in pursuit of this, working from life, emulating the techniques and materials of the old masters, painting on linen canvas, preparing his own paints by hand, and carefully selecting pigments and oils to his precise requirements.
Paul was apprenticed to D. Jeffrey Mims, before honing his talents at the Cecil-Graves Studio in Florence, where his talent as an exquisite draftsman was instantly recognised. Paul went on to teach at the prestigious Florence Academy of Art, renowned for its commitment to the academic tradition.
Paul’s keen passion for nature is felt throughout his work and the influence of his upbringing, a Huckleberry Finn childhood spent roaming the outdoors in North Carolina and studying the world around him, can be seen in every brushstroke. His perfectly composed works are rich with atmosphere and detail.
