Paul S. Brown’s In Full Swing is a celebration of Classical Realism, capturing the opulence of a lavish feast with breathtaking detail. Inspired by the Dutch Old Masters, this exquisite still life showcases glistening oysters, chilled Krug Champagne, and a radiant 1983 Château d’Yquem, each element rendered with luminous precision. Brown’s meticulous craftsmanship elevates this composition beyond mere representation into a sensory experience.

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.
