Which made following him around with a camera in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitseco.com\/arroyo_seco_webcam.php\" target=\"_blank\">Arroyo Seco<\/a> studio a lot smoother than usual. It’s not easy to gain this access, to watch an artist at work, especially if you’re trying to record each idea as it hits the canvas. The act is extremely revealing.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/151360666?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps this is why Paul doesn’t stick with his “work-in-progress” for very long. The hands-on phase of this WNYC TV story is relatively brief, followed by a show-and-tell of various examples of his work. Paul has always been a flexible artist, never adhering to just one style. He is, I think, a happy painter, not one gripped by terrors in the small hours, or as they used to say, existential dread.<br \/>\nAnd who can blame him? He lives in apparent freedom in Taos, New Mexico. As you will see, it’s a spectacular spot, one many famous painters have discovered in the past – <a href=\"https:\/\/thoughtcast.org\/art\/agnes-martin\/\" target=\"_blank\">Agnes Martin<\/a>, Arthur Dove, Georgia O’Keefe, Marsden Hartley, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harwoodmuseum.org\/exhibitions\/view\/3\" target=\"_blank\">Rebecca James<\/a>, Andrew Dasburg. The list continues. Perhaps it has something to do with the huge spaces and the limitless light.<\/p>\n<p>For an audio version of this story, click here: <a href=\"https:\/\/thoughtcast.org\/podcasts\/PascarellaMonoMp3.mp3\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thoughtcast.org\/mike.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> to listen.
