    Summer Stream

    I am pleased to have sold one of my limited edition prints 'Summer Stream ' recently to a buyer in Stockbridge. This painting was inspired by the iconic chalk stream at Mottisfont Abbey near Romsey. Sadly for me, Art finder no longer lists limited edition prints but my full range of 34 prints are available to purchase at www.the artbarn.com/collections/paul-best

    Following some recent experiments with colour and abstraction, I am hoping that a looser more energetic painting style may be emerging in my landscape inspired paintings. My main driving force remains to capture the spirit of place.....the genius loci. What do you think ?

    Corhampton Autumn Sunset

    I am very pleased to have sold my painting 'Corhampton Autumn Sunset ' from the Steak of the Art Restaurant at Ocean Village in Southampton. Great idea of an appealing food drink and entertainment offer combined with great art! I wish I had thought of it as a concept. They have successful ventures also in Bristol and Cardiff...so I recommend that you check it out ! http://www.steakoftheart.co.uk/southampton/blog/

    Exploring the Colour Wheel

    Exploring the Colour Wheel

    I have been exploring the colour relationships in some abstract paintings lately which has been really satisfying ( not sure how commercially viable but great for the soul!). This has been interesting when applied to my normal landscape inspired works which are taking on an ever greater vibrancy. The colours are of course there in nature .....and brighter than you first imagine.
