What an inspiring interview. I love the honest and experimental approach of Paul's work and the willingness to share with the viewers, and as you know I love his work. Thank you Paul, thank you Amy for another great interview.

Beautiful work! I love the textural quality and the feeling of glowing light. Fascinating about the black underpainting!

Enjoyed the article! I'm intrigued with Balmer's use of an underpainting of black on his canvasses as well as his use of the 'etched' lines with the dremel tool. And I really like his work. Thanks for the post!

Thanks Carol! I was fascinated by Paul's techniques too, and that he's continuing to try new things and create such stunning paintings.
