Here is the exciting news from the Breeze Gallery in Peebles, after the much awaited visit from collectible artist, Paul Horton, who had kindly agreed to come and talk about his fantastic range of limited edition prints and original paintings.
‘We had a fabulous morning with Paul. We only wished that he could have been here longer! Paul arrived bright and early and after a quick tour of the fantastic furniture showroom and gallery, the storytelling began.
Paul is a fabulous story teller and is very proud of his achievements. He explained that he does a lot of work with school children, helping them to realise that they can fulfill their dreams and that they must believe in themselves. This is close to Paul’s heart as he has worked hard to become such a recognised artist and if he had listened to those people telling him to get a ‘proper’ job, he wouldn’t be where he is today.
He told of how a visit to a large puppet theater that was closing down was the inspiration for his current style. Being locked in a dark storage room with almost life size marionettes may seem daunting for most, but Paul relished the opportunity and many of his characters that we have grown to love have come out of that time.
Elizabeth brought in her son’s red spotted handkerchief to dress the gallery and was touched when Paul asked if he could have it to tie to his easel in his studio. How could she say no? Paul said that every time he is painting from now on, he will be inspired by that hanky!
Thank you Paul for being a lovely guest and we look forward to meeting you again!’
After Paul enthusiastically chatted with guests and talked about his work and happily posed for photos, he then rushing off to our Jenners gallery to meet many more of his fans. There a busy throng eagerly awaited his arrival and the signing of autographs began again?!
