    Winter Sun

    I have been enjoying the intensely bright Winter sunlight in Hampshire this past couple of weeks. I have aimed to capture this in my latest painting 'Upper Hamble River' which I have created on an unusually 8cm deep box professional canvas.

    Autumn Sun

    Autumn Sun

    I have been inspired by the particularly bright sunlight through the local woodlands this Autumn. The colours seem brighter this year. Maybe the pandemic has meant that I just appreciate it more ?

    Calella de Palafrugell Sunset

    Calella de Palafrugell Sunset

    I was pleased to receive this great review for a recent commission: "Commissioning a painting is not easy because you have to try and convey your ideas and thoughts to the artist. However, Paul was very good at listening to our feedback on early 'roughs' and making changes so that the final painting was exactly what we were looking for. It looks great on our living room wall and takes me back to special times. I would highly recommend Paul".

    Some great Reviews

    Some great Reviews

    I am delighted to have been given some great reviews by purchasers of my paintings through artfinder recently. One is by Laura for my original painting 'landscape reflections IX'. "I absolutely love my painting. Very true to life photo on Artfinder and speedy service from the artist who was in contact throughout the process. I couldn't be happier. And it's my second Paul Best painting. Definitely a fan of his style. Love it."

    Autumn Inspiration Again

    Autumn Inspiration Again

    I have been working on a series of water based oil paintings over the past couple of weeks. The new Autumn colours are always a fantastic inspiration to capture the season. I love painting with water based oil paints and this time I have mixed with cold wax which gives a lovely buttery consistency to the paint .......but it does takes ages for the paint to dry !

    Lymington Harbour II

    I am very pleased to have at taken a commission for a painting of Lymington Harbour in Hampshire. I think that it may be finished.... It is always possible to overwork a painting and loose the quality.
