The ever lively and busy Piccadilly Circus in the heart of London. Painted using thick textured paint with rich metallic tones, then finished using Paul’s loose and painterly dripping style.

4′ x 6′ Deep edge canvas (With the painting running around onto the sides). Large Format Mixed Media Original painting.

Thames Stroll

The view across the River Thames towards St Paul’s Cathedral and the city beyond. Capturing the moment the rain has stopped the light is magical. Painted using thick textured paint with rich metallic tones, then finished using Paul’s loose and painterly dripping style.

4′ x 5′ Deep edge canvas (With the painting running around onto the sides). Large Format Mixed Media Original painting.

A short movie documenting the painting of ‘City Circus’ can be viewed here. Paul always enjoys painting these big pieces as the larger canvases really allow him to create something a little bit special. We hope you enjoy the film as much as Paul enjoyed the painting!

Flavours of Florence

Paul — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:19:12 +0000

Back in October Paul and fellow artist Steve PP spent a weekend in Florence, painting, sketching, and soaking up the relaxed Italian atmosphere. Paul and Steve both returned from Italy brimming with inspiration and ideas, and have been busy in their studios turning their sketches and photos into finished artworks. Below are just a few of the works that were inspired by this trip.

Paul’s pieces will be available, and to enquire about them please contact Paul or Washington Green, and to view more of Steve’s Florence collection (and more) check out his website.

These painting trips are invaluable to both artists as there is nothing like getting a feel for a place first hand, not just visually, but the sounds, smells, tastes, atmosphere, and people that make each city, or landscape so unique. I’m sure they are planning more trips for 2013, so of course we will keep you updated.
