Paul Henderson

Paul loves to create art by using a variety of techniques and is inspired by an assortment of styles, methods, color and diversity in his artwork. He will often quote: “Variety is the spice of life”.

Paul Henderson is an American artist, living and raised in the Northwest. His paintings reflect his upbringing of fishing, hunting and camping trips with family. These childhood memories have emphasized his love of landscapes, nature's natural beauty and wildlife. The love of outdoors prompted his early drawings and sketches.

After college graduation, he began to seriously study art, taking several college level courses. In addition, he studied under a couple of accomplished artists: (1) Don Crook, commonly known as the “Rockwell of Western Art”. Under Don's mentoring, Paul learned the intense discipline required in composition, color and detail. (2) Daniel E Green, a portrait painter and pastel artist, imparted a love of beautiful and subtle colors in a composition.

Childhood, self-study and learning from master painters have influenced Paul's art and techniques. Paul loves to create art while being in the present moment and receiving inspiration. He loves to create paintings with a sense of tranquility and serenity....

I have taken classes with several art teachers, art courses and many books and videos. Mostly I am self taught.

[[There is much much more that could be said, to see my full bio go to my website at paulhendersonart.com]]

I paint from abstract to realism, from loose to almost photo-realism and from semi-abstract to free expressionism. My subjects vary from abstract series to wildlife series , from still life to landscape, from fantasy to Iconic American Indian series and from old historic buildings to barns.
