I appreciate your kind comments. Thank You!

There are countless more paintings, drawings and sculptures in my studio and gallery as well as hundreds of works that are held in various collections all over the world. What u see here and on the website is only a fraction of the Paul Cumes catalogue.
In other words, the madness is far greater than what you see here. Oh dear.

MOST of these youtube paintings are made in one hour, alla-prima style.

Alla prima is a style of painting where, instead of building colors up with layers or glazing over an underpainting, the painting is completed while the paint is still wet. Strictly defined, an alla prima painting would be started and finished in one painting session, but the term is also more loosely applied to any painting done in a direct, expressive style, with minimal preparation.

Alla prima comes from Italian, literally meaning "at once". The French term is premier coup.

Famous painters who worked in an alla prima style are as diverse as Paul Cezanne, John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, Caravaggio, Hieronymus Bosch, and Frans Hals.
