Capturing the Spirit of Life

Paula Pearl’s oil paintings are impressionistic and playful, infused with life. She paints the wildlife, horses, and dogs that she loves so much, combining meticulous hands-on knowledge of their anatomy with genuine appreciation of their individual personalities.

Paula Pearl is passionate about the relationship between humans and animals and and paints both from the inside out; the luminosity of their spirits lends a glow to the canvas.

“Her colors are superb. She’s got a real knack for brushwork, texture, and her color. She’s really interested in capturing the relationship between the animals. She gets a lot of expression in her work – more expressionism than impressionism, I’d say. There are a lot of subtle little things that happen in her work.” — Todd Conner, historical western artist
