Paul Beebe

Paul Beebe of South Windsor, Ct. has been painting since age 15. He is a graduate of Southern Ct. State College with a degree in Graphic Design. Paul found himself drawn to marine subjects after his first visit to the island of Martha’s Vineyard 24 years ago. He became inspired by its rich maritime history and a great supply of subject matter in which he could express himself. He began to render the historic schooners, elegant racing yachts and whaling ships that regularly cruised island waters. His interest in naval history has also led him to paint several ships of the U.S. Navy.
 

Starting with a preliminary value sketch, Paul develops his paintings using multiple layers of color from a limited palette. His finished Paintings are highly expressive works that feature the luminous skies and muted colors that define his subject in the early morning and late afternoon light.

Paul is a member of the Martha’s Vineyard Art Association as well as the Hamden Arts League. He currently shows his work at the Edgartown Scrimshaw Gallery and The Old Sculpin Gallery on Martha’s Vineyard. In Connecticut, He exhibits paintings at The Courtyard Gallery in Mystic, Ct. Paul has been featured in Waterways, and A Gathering of Marine Masters at the Art of the Sea Gallery in South Thomaston, Maine. He has won first place in the Watercolor category for the last two years at the All Island Art Show on Martha’s Vineyard. He has exhibited his work at the 29th and 30th Annual International Marine Art Exhibition at the Maritime Gallery at Mystic Seaport. He will also exhibit paintings at The Maritime Gallery at Mystic’s Maritime Masters show this spring 2010.
