Paul Walsh

“The winters here in southern Oklahoma are the best of both worlds. Our numberless greens are changed into a myriad of ochers and browns. The landscape, to me, becomes richer in texture and a warm melancholy provides a much needed slowing of life. We have an interesting variety of weather that makes it difficult to fall into apathy. My paintings are an effort to prevent my falling into that apathy, and hopefully help others miss that dungeon.”
