Art(s) on the Air Dec 7, 2022 with Paul Downs

*Hear ye, hear ye! Our show is now moving to the 1st and 3rd (and 5th) Wednesdays of the month, instead of every Wednesday. We want to continue making as high quality a show as possible, and biweekly will fit much better with our schedules and workloads. Thank you all so much for your great feedback on our first few months!*

Join Tamara for an interview with self-taught artist Paul Downs, who works in oil, acrylic, and watercolor paints, striving to evoke a sense of storytelling and design in his work. He shows regularly in art fairs in Savannah, St. Simons Island, and Hilton Head Island. Paul serves on the board of Arts on the Coast and is a member of Savannah Art Association, and has recently launched a watercolor painting class for adults!

Topics in their chat include:

Paul's recollections on living in Seattle during the 90s grunge scene; the gallery scene in Savannah's City Market in the late 90s/early 00s; how his pet portrait commission business has exploded just since Covid; what shape of head and eyes reads as "cuter" in a yeti holiday card; in which store you can shop his "tasteful nude" painted bookmarks; and the learning curve of doing your first outdoor art shows, including Paul and Tamara's hot tips for securing your small paper products during windy shows. 
 
P.S. - the local crime novelist he was trying to think of was...Rita Herron! 
 

Tune in and get all the details!
