PAUL JOSEPH LUCAS
The website features images of vintage to present works, some of which are currently for sale. Paul works in oil on canvas and oil on stainless steel.
"Lucas paints with an urgency that lends his painted surfaces a quality of immediacy as alive as atmosphere itself. His landscapes are filled with raking light of a rising or setting sun, emergent shapes of luminous highlights and cast shadows, muted hues of dusk, dawn, and much more. His palette is formulated at our continent's edge: fluid, disparate, saturated, pure. The straightforward subjects and techniques Lucas uses in his portrayals of the land and nature instill an array of emotions in viewers. I find muself recalling his paintings' grandeur and effectiveness long after standing before them." Shlley curtis, Art About agriculture, Oregon State University.
