PAUL S. BROWN | Cropwell Bishop Creamery Stilton, Nottinghamshire and Port
Oil on Canvas
40 x 45 cms / 15 ¾ x 17 ¾ inches
Signed P Brown (lower right)
Paul S Brown’s still life captures the classic pairing of Cropwell Bishop Stilton and Taylor’s Port, a timeless British tradition. The blue veins of the Stilton contrast with the deep ruby tones of the port, echoed in the ripe grapes and plums. The warm palette evokes indulgence, while Brown’s masterful reflections on the glass decanter showcase his skill. Part of the artist’s cheese and wine series, this painting invites the viewer to savour the harmony of fine wine, artisanal cheese, and life’s simple pleasures.
A true Classical Realist, Paul’s focus is on universal beauty. He upholds rigorous standards in pursuit of this, working from life, emulating the techniques and materials of the old masters, painting on linen canvas, preparing his own paints by hand, and carefully selecting pigments and oils to his precise requirements.
Paul was apprenticed to D. Jeffrey Mims, before honing his talents at the Cecil-Graves Studio in Florence, where his talent as an exquisite draftsman was instantly recognised. Paul went on to teach at the prestigious Florence Academy of Art, renowned for its commitment to the academic tradition.
Paul’s keen passion for nature is felt throughout his work and the influence of his upbringing, a Huckleberry Finn childhood spent roaming the outdoors in North Carolina and studying the world around him, can be seen in every brushstroke. His perfectly composed works are rich with atmosphere and detail.
