    Four Seasons Exhibition at Southampton City Art Gallery

    I am delighted to have my painting 'Winter Song' selected to be exhibited as part of the 'Four Seasons' exhibition at the Southampton City Art Gallery from 3rd Feb to 21 April. This painting is a depiction of a Winter landscape, one of a series depicting the Hampshire Downland Landscape through the four seasons, inspired by poems. This painting is inspired by an extract from the Katherine Mansfield poem ' Winter Song' …."Snow and sleet, and sleet and snow. Will the winter never go?.... Snow and sleet, and sleet and snow " .I have limited edition prints available for sale of all four paintings at http://www.the-art-barn.com/collections/paul-best

    Halved a Soul

    Halved a Soul

    I am pleased to have sold another of my 'Halved a soul' limited edition prints to a buyer in Buriton. This is proving to be a popular print... less is more it seems. The original painting which was featured as the Artfinder ' Art of the Day' on Valentines day this year, is a depiction of a distinctive thorn tree for Romantics, inspired by an extract from the William Butler Yeats poem 'A man young and old VIII' "We sat under an old thorn -tree And talked away the night' Told all that had been said or done Since first we saw the light, And when we talked of growing up Knew that we'd halved a soul And fell the one in t'other's arms That we might make it whole." http://www.the-art-barn.com/…/prod…/RS-PB-028/halved-a-soul/

    Queen Elizabeth Country Park in Autumn

    Queen Elizabeth Country Park in Autumn

    I am pleased to have sold one of my series of paintings inspired by The Queen Elizabeth Country Park near Petersfield in Hampshire in Autumn time this week. The Country Park receives a huge amount of visitors each year .. just less than Madame Tassauds I believe, making it the fourth largest visitor attraction in the UK. I am very pleased that I will be having my fourth solo exhibition there in April 2018.
