Dolly Paul's Donkey
| Edition Size | Image Size | Retail CDN | Retail US |

This is a rare sketch of our precious Donkey "Dolly". Many of you met him, he was a wonderfully happy and gentle guy who was only with us for a couple of years before his unfortunate accidental passing. He was a good friend to Red and Paul, always baying when he heard them. He would tug at his halter as they tried to put it on him, once he stopped that then he'd pull their hat off. I think Paul still has his hat where "Dolly" took a chunk out of it. Paul can't look at our garden in without the memories of ploughing it with "Dolly". Fond memories and good fun. Thanks for sharing this memory with us. You can take "Dolly" home for your very own. Framed in museum quality frames and designed by Paul Murray. You are getting the drawing for almost free.

: The Johnson Family from Townsend is a traditional mountain family. They let Paul & KatiJane into their lives in the 80’s. This has let Paul share paintings of Lil’ Fannies’ Grandma “Fannie” and “Earnest", and has forged a great friendship, with many cherished memories. Here is Paul’s thoughts about Lil Fannie. “A place where beauty abounds, where innocence and wisdom are mixed like good cornmeal; a place where a window to the past still exists. L'il Fannie was born from a long line of mountain people. She shares the shyness and fierce pride of her forefathers. In a few isolated hills and hollows of east Tennessee, the window is still open." -Paul Murray-

Lem Ownby - Elkmont's Blind Bee Keeper
| Edition Size | Image Size | Retail CDN | Retail US |
|---|
Born in 1889 in the Smoky Mountains, Lem Ownby became one of the region's most recognized figures. Sight-impaired from an early age, Lem spent his life logging, bear hunting, farming and tending his beehives. He welcomed the arrival of logging operations into the pristine wilderness but became an eyewitness to the devastation it brought to land, streams and wildlife. As the last leaseholder living within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Lem became a legend, selling his honey and offering pearls of wisdom to hikers, writers and even the governor. Lem's principles remained solid, his opinions so unwavering that he once refused to entertain two Supreme Court justices. Enter the forest with author F. Carroll McMahan as he tells dramatic, fascinating and sometimes humorous stories of a man who lived truly on his own terms. - Elkmont's Uncle Lem Ownby: Sage of the Smokies (Natural History) Paperback – October 1, 2013

"The clapboard shack belt buckled to the hillside - had a tired lean to it. Real blue smoke always chugged from the chimney. Each time I visited Milt’s home place; pleasantly - I was always greeted with a gun. However on one visit though, Milt greeted me standin in the doorway,. “This is my bluebird” he said,” aint she a bute. She’ll holer - ya she’ll holer real keen.” The bird he was holdin’ was a common black bird. I never did quite figger that one out.” -Paul Murray-

This study was ordered by someone who fell in love with the large original of "Sleeping Briar". They are a long standing client they asked if Paul had any smaller sketches of her that he would part with. Paul went into his studio and sorted through the piles of sketches and paintings that we never see. These were only meant for his reference. He picked this one and took a short while to refine it so he would be happy that the public would see it. So here it is, Now available to anyone who has the heart big enough to take her home. The great patron who ordered her, had to change his plans for his cash, such is life. A bonus for you!

Her big beautiful eyes bring you into her world. Paul’s intimate and powerful talent brings you so close to her, you could almost know what she is thinking and what she is doing or what is in her world. She lives in coal mining country deep in the woods of the Appalachian Mountains; the only girl in a long row of boys. She will break the tradition of five generations of coal miners. She’ll not be going down below with that deadly black dust. Her gentle, but knowing, look shows she is wide open to embrace the world and make a difference. She has great possibilities - non of which include the short life her forefathers have chosen." -Paul Murray- Lil' Kentucky Coal does her best to hang onto her puppy, while standing in front of her grandma's ol' cabin.

Love your work
I visited your Gatlinburg gallery and met Joanna. Had a lovely visit and made a new friend. Looking forward to your new showing.
Thanks allot, we are in Canada at Paul’s home town. We are a feature at the Devonshire Mall with 2 locations. Its keeping us busy, but we love meeting all our patrons. Merry Christmas hope to see you soon. Kati-JaneM
Looking for a price on the 33 x 42 Red & Dolly.
Home Phone 519-974-6588
Cell 519-796-0708
Bob did you get the prices you wanted. I know we were emailing, I still haven’t got a photo of the unfinished original of”howeward” (with Donkey “Dolly” & Red & Wilma in the huge mtnscapte )that Paul is working on he saw me setting it up in photoshop and stoped me from putting it on facebook. I wll see what I can do for you still.
Kati-Jane M
What an unbelievable deal on Santa, and for a great cause too. Can’t wait to get mine!
When I saw this, I was taken back by the detail! It is a beauty in any of the forms! Again, Paul has done wonderful work!
I have a few pieces of Paul’s artwork that while beautiful, I would be interested in selling. I have 2 mini’s (Lidle Cumberland in pastels AND All Mine in pastels) – both are framed in very ornate frames. I also have 2 approx. 8×10 in size framed and signed (Almost Spring – Joey & Kiten AND Aunt Emily). Pictures available upon request. Any idea how I might go about locating an interested buyer? Or what price range these items might fall into? Thanks in advance!
Dear Jen,
The pieces you have don’t seem to be signed & numbered limited editions. As far as an investment, they don’t really have one. People can still purchase them at our store for the same price. Maybe you could see if you could sell them yourself for what you have in them or donate them to a charity and ask for a reserve bid to get your investment back. I hope this helps, we wish you our best. Thanks for helping keep a glimpse of the past alive. KJ Murray
Hello Katie-Jane…
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy Paul’s artwork. I first seen it when I lived in Windsor Ontario. I was in an art gallery on Tecumseh I think. I seen a framed print of the Clown faces. I should have bought it then but didn’t. Is it still available? Is Paul’s work still available in Canada? I now live in Hamilton are there galleries that carry his work near here? Appreciate the info.
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Joan Elliott
My husband and I love the innocent and beautiful capturing of the children that Paul does. His work has bought us much pleasure. We just returned from another visit to his gallery in Gatlinburg and have two more treasures to frame and hang in our home. That makes us have eight of his pieces in our home. I especially love our little miss drawing.
Thanks for your talent and dedication to the world of art.
Ann
Hello little brother and sister. We love you both!!

My sister and I were in Gatlinburg about 4 years ago staying at the Buckhorn Inn. We were making the artist loop when we ran upon this old house and an elderly lady was outside making lye soap. There was a sign out front that this was Paul’s place of business. We came on in and were made to feel right at home by Paul’s lovely wife. After looking around, we both fell in love with Lil Miss. My sister was able to buy the one that Paul drew himself but I was only able to afford an gilcee’ of it. Much to our surprise, Paul and Red walked in and Paul took our pictures that were framed to wrap them for us. Much to my surprise, when I opened mine Paul had not only written his name in gold on the glass on the front but he has also drawn a picture of the mountains on the back and had written “Some place in the Blue Ridge Mountains” on the back and signed his name. I am so proud of my picture even though it is not an original!! I also bought a small one of Red and he sat outside and signed it for me. God bless you all for making me feel so special!!! Paul, your work is amazing and I love it all!!! And thank you for the hospitality!!!
When will reproductions be available for ” Towards the Final Light.” Saw it in Grand Rapids MI and it touched my heart.
Marlene,
The prints of “Towards the final light” will be ready in spring. Do you want me to hold one for you at 40% off. You can order your favorite number as well.
I was in your gallery two weekends ago and I purchased two prints of pencil sketches. One was Milt Cox, Gunslinger and the other was John Profit with Ol’ Woman. I love your talent and work. I am interested in purchasing a print of another pencil/coal sketch of Kentucky Coal. I am curious what it would cost to have one shipped to Indianapolis, Indiana and what different size prints that you have? I look forward to your response.
Thanks, Dan Hogan
