Exhibitions and News:
My Artweeks exhibition in May with my sister Jane is going ahead despite the pandemic. The exhibition will take place at Jane's house in Freeland with all appropriate H&S measures in place.

I can only show you 12 images here, so if you want to see more, go to my website here: paulrichardtomlinson.co.uk

In addition I regularly display my work in the Eynsham Art Window along Mill St in Eynsham next to the vets and the Chinese Take-Away to you can peruse my work whilst waiting for your Sweet and Sour and your doggie jabs.

Biography:
I was born in Stratford upon Avon and benefitted from a childhood filled with opportunity for travel, exploration and learning. I was actively turned on to an appreciation of the natural world, history, our cultural heritage and the environment.

I studied engineering at Leeds University and Penn State University and worked for more than three decades in the construction industry. My career in construction was based in Oxfordshire, where I settled with my family.

Having recently retired from the consultancy business of which I was a joint owner, I have spent time teaching, undertaking voluntary work for the RSPB, learning new skills in picture framing, travelling and living abroad (Cyprus) and developing my portfolio of artwork and photographs.

I am endlessly inspired by the work of many of the Old Masters with which we are all familiar: Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Raphael and the Impressionists. I also love the decadent brilliance of Egon Schiele, who inspires my life drawing, and I appreciate the work of Victorian travellers such as Ruskin and Lear, whose work influences the sort of urban sketching and depictions of the built environment that I am currently working on.
