makes driftwood constructions and paints a wide variety of subjects, often with

Arts Centre, Torrington; Highwayman's Gallery, Bury St Edmunds and
Falmouth Art Gallery. He holds an annual exhibition here in Mithian at

painting at Falmouth Art Gallery. There is even a cartoon workshop
included!

nights, staying at the Rose in Vale Hotel, and will include breakfast and
dinner on each day, with personal tuition from Paul.
Paul says he is looking forward with
great enthusiasm to running the Painting Break for Rose in Vale. His
knowledge of local subjects and his interest in different techniques, plus his
passion for individual development will make this experience useful for the
self-development of the participants. "It will never be just a 'copy
me' exercise. I want to nurture individual talent and develop confidence
to take away lasting memories of a very special time in this part of
Cornwall".
