Paul Stone specializes in traditional still life compositions, often with a contemporary twist.
Painting in oils, in the style of classical realism, Stone employs an accomplished use of light and shade to create a sense of texture and atmosphere in his work.

After graduating in professional fine art practice in 2008, Stone made the decision to become a full time oil painter, and has since established a reputation in still life excellence, winning numerous national awards and building a growing base of appreciative collectors.
Having grown up on the coast of Suffolk, the artist initially studied design at Lowestoft College, then spent many years in various professions, including teaching children with special needs, before discovering his love of art history, and his devotion to still life painting.
His focus is on showing the beauty of natural design in organic objects, with simple, elegant compositions, enhanced by dramatic lighting and studied detail.
The result is works showcasing traditional oil painting techniques, with a contemporary feel and presentation.

That’s what I look for when keeping an eye out for art. There are hundreds of artists painting sailboats, but this fellow seemed to have a different swing to it. Love it.

…and an inventive use of color. My favorite is the sailboat with rainbow-hued sail, being hit by a wave.

I love images of sailing ships — I think it’s time to give another try at finding classic artists renderings of the big rigs. Sail away sail away sail away….
