Paul Stone

An artist for over 40 years, Paul Stone is known for his vibrant depictions of the Vermont landscape. An oil painter, his works are studies in color and texture

A native of New England, Paul Stone is influenced by the scenes that surround him whether they are the landscapes of Vermont or the seascapes of the rugged New England coast. A graduate of Dartmouth and Tufts University, Paul has been painting for over 40 years. Equally adept with watercolors or oils, his paintings are distinguished by a strong sense of composition and a master's control of the medium.

"My surroundings, my experience and my respect for the world as it is... these are the things from which I gain my subjects and drive my inspirations. My paintings carry with them no messages; they are complete unto themselves and speak for themselves. Beyond this, they may be said to reflect a human presence in nature.
"I try to respond to the weight of character with which events have endowed the places that I paint.
Sometimes the people give me clues, sometimes the structures do and sometimes the spirit of the place speaks."
