Quite often referred to as PAB (also Papa One Leg), Paul is 58 years of age and has had a wide-ranging career starting in textiles then engineering through to a variety of community welfare positions.

He is now disabled and spends much of his time as a house husband. In his spare time, he indulges in an interest (he fondly calls it the Art of Paper Staining) for which he has had a passion but never had the time to pursue … until now.

Paul’s interests vary and are wide-ranging - from Astronomy (having once built a telescope from scratch including the grinding of the optics) to Bonsai.

He enjoys arts and crafts of all kinds, but mainly likes to paint landscapes trying to capture the ever-changing light on the English countryside and its ever-changing moodiness.

Paul also paints animal pictures but does not do any detailed work - he believes animals do not sit still long enough for you to paint!

Instead, Paul captures the animal placing them in their surroundings and showing their different moods. This is readily apparent in his work titled Elephant Storm which features a group of African elephants on the plains showing obvious signs of unrest as the storm approaches.
The unsettled group indicates a desire to be off.

His approach to art is personal; he believes that if you like it, then it must be good.
