Paul Charlton - Paintings

I took a trip to Belgium years ago. I kept a journal on the trip and made a small illustration for the top of each day's entry. This is the illustration for a day we toured World War I battlefields around Ypres. I tried to convey the horrible loss and desolation of that war at that place - and, more broadly, war in general. This image is of a larger painting I made from that illustration for an art exhibit with the theme of peace. Acrylic painting on stretched canvas, 12 x 40"

I picked these flowers on a walk I took near the beach last year. Watercolor on paper, 10 x 6.5"

A single pear. Oil painting on canvas board, 8 x 6"

A journal and pens ready to be used. Oil painting on canvas board, 6 x 8"

Here's the second version of the scene I painted last week. Oil painting on cradled panel, 6 x 8"
