I notice that the lights of the paintings originate from the background, which isn’t something that I significantly remember is a motif other painters stick to. The way in which the forms are carved out give volume to the puffs of organic shapes. I find this memorable and unique, along with the color palette.

I enjoyed this interview. Thanks to both of you. There is a remarkable amount of freedom now to paint anything you want, anyway you want. I think the challenge to explain why you paint, what you paint, can take you away from your work, but it is a necessary task. It’s your only chance to remind people that you truly care about what you are doing and are deeply invested in it and not simply trying to sell a few paintings on instagram. And maybe some youngster who has never heard of Paul Georges will make a tiny effort and google him and learn something new.

Excellent interview! I love Paula’s paintings and it was interesting to see her early work and read her thoughts on painting. She’s one of the best.

A very clear, intelligent and well written interview. I like the work very much, esp the small recent oil sketches and the pen drawings. Great color and interesting talk on the limited palette. Reminds me a bit of Welliver’s work with a very limited palette. The mark language is intriguing; and the references to Burchfield. And Porter. It reminds me that one secret of landscape painting is to develop a mark language as a way to paint the edges of trees and clouds, the color shapes. Very intelligent and beautiful work…I don’t think she discussed “beauty” at all, but her work is beautiful.
