Fresh Coat , oil on canvas by Paul Richmond Fresh Coat is the newest piece in my War Paint series, exploring ideas of masculinity, strength, and courage. I'm really enjoying loosening up and being more expressive with these paintings. I start by just scraping paint across the canvas with a palette knife and then build the image from there. Here's a pic of this one in the early stages. Fresh Coat in progress Fresh Coat measures 30" x 24." The original painting and prints are available through the Lyman-Eyer Gallery HERE . Additional print sizes are available in my online store HERE . Special thanks to Patrick Butler for modeling for this piece.  I'm also excited to announce that the War Paint series will be featured in a two-person exhibition this summer at the Lyman-Eyer Gallery in Provincetown along with works by one of my favorite watercolorists, Kevin Peterson . The exhibit coincides with P-Town's Carnival, and the opening recep...

Brave Face , oil on canvas by Paul Richmond I'm back in the studio and painting with a vengeance! Here's the first piece in my new War Paint series -- an expressive exploration of strength, masculinity, and courage. I am inspired by the variety of ways in which people summon their inner strength to prepare for battle, and through this body of work, I hope to expand upon the notion of what "being tough" really means. Brave Face is an oil painting on canvas that measure 24" x 30." The original painting and prints are available through the Lyman-Eyer Gallery HERE . Additional print sizes are available in my online store HERE . A big thank you to the fantastic models who were willing to get messy during the photo shoot for this series: Edwin Clark, Aaron Anderson, Brian Williams, and Patrick Butler! Here are some detail images:

Here's a peek in my studio at my new painting in progress. This is the second piece for my show in July at the Lyman-Eyer Gallery , and the handsome model is my partner Dennis.

Sanctuary , oil on panel by Paul Richmond My new painting, Sanctuary , evolved over the past several months during which we launched the You Will Rise Project , a website that features artwork, stories, poems, videos and other creative expressions by victims of bullying. Consequently, I began reflecting on my own experience of being bullied and used it as the inspiration for this piece. I was constantly made fun of as a child for being effeminate, quiet, tall, and uncoordinated. My coping mechanism was to disappear into my imagination. There, I could explore fantastical worlds where bullying, self-doubt, and fear were never welcome. A gangly, awkward boy from the Midwest could become a fairy tale princess or a glamorous movie star. And when the white walls of home felt too confining, more enchanted surroundings were just around the corner. Art gave me a means of capturing my daydreams, making them real, and seeing the work of other artists meant being invited into their secret wor...
