He never said a lot, but that wasn't because he didn't have a lot to say. He was well spoken, but never went looking for conversation. When he did speak you knew he was telling you something important. This portrait illustrates that bashfulness and, without the quality of his eyes meeting yours, there is a sense...

I enjoy the three prints I bought from you a year or two ago.
I love all nine prints that I have. I first saw a print in the welcome center at Gatlinburg………I was drawn to it instantly. I did not buy it at first. (I have enough pictures on my walls). I left and hiked to a water falls, and stopped on the way back down so that I could use the restroom, only to be drawn back in the gift shop to purchase the print. The cashier asked if I read the story on the back. I didn’t even know there was one. I didn’t look at the back. I instantly knew why I was drawn to the picture. It was Joey looking at the final light. You see My husbands name was Joey, he passed away eight months prior to my visit. He was right there with me on that visit. I absolutely love Paul’s work and will continue to add to my collection.
Coming by your studio is a highlight for me when I come to the mountains. I have a couple of pieces, they are small but I treasure them. I remember my husband and I sitting on the porch listening to the storyteller. My husband and Red(?) are gone now, but I will have the memories forever.
