Paul V Ross
He enjoys oil painting, playing the guitar, listening to jazz and popular music and gardening. He had some lessons in water colour painting during his school days and won a few prizes in the Rockhampton Agricultural Show. Due to commitments of work, raising two sons and playing golf, his art career was put on hold until retirement.
He has been painting in oils since 2020 and is self taught from the many talented artists offering instructional videos on YouTube. His favourite subjects are landscapes, seascapes, buildings, nature and still life. His style could be described as realism with a hint of impressionism. Inspiration is drawn
from photographs from his own collection and that of the gifted amateur photographer, his late cousin, Frank McDonald of Townsville, and from friends.
He has exhibited in The Doyles Art Prize in 2022 and produced a number of commissioned works such as a rural scene near Kabra, the Supreme Court Building in Rockhampton and a beloved pet dog.
