Red is a mountain man who loves the old ways so much, he has built a mini museum with primitive buildings mad with found wood, each with trade tools and antiques. A lye making shop, cobbler shop, blacksmith shop and many more. Red always seems joyful like you would think Santa Clause would be. He is always happy to be with people, sharing stories of the old days and jokes he’s picked up on the way. He loves critters, too. He has always owned mules, burros goats and chickens.
He stands here with our burro "Dolly" getting ready to do some chores. Every spring Dolly & Paul ploughed our vegetable garden. "Dolly" did a good job and was a great joy for Paul and, I think Dolly ,too! By the way, Dolly loves people just as much, and he gives you an exuberant greeting that only a donkey can do! In April 2009 Dolly, age 5, was accidentally killed by a gun. He will be sorely missed, we were blessed to have had him.

Paul's best buddy Original Pencil study for "Homeward oil" Framing is limited*. We miss Dolly very much. He was a great pal for Paul. They had this kind of dance or routine that would happen when Paul went to feed or harness him. Dolly would seem uninterested, then when Paul went to put the harness on he would bit it and yank it away. Finally when Paul got the harness on, while he was hooking it up, Dolly would bite his hat and take it off. This playfull banter was just some of the things that made their time together special. Only memories now. KatiJane M.

See Paul Murray's only major painting of the Smoky Mountains. See these ancient mountians through the eyes of a child that had fallen in love with this area since age 5. See how the mountains and its people feed his soul.
A local mountain man “Red”, says, “I’m just a possum eatin’ ridgerunnr”, don’t let that fool you. He is among the most wise people I know, and hard workin’ too. Red still lives as he did when he grew up in these Tennessee Mountains, off the land. He loves to talk of the past and tell tales of the mountains. His animals are like his best friends, cared for dearly. His favorite is “Dolly” his mule. Red always a happy kind soul.
Wilma always by Red’s side. They work together in all they do, The plough the garden, harvest, sell/trade their trinkits, plants, chicken and goats at the flea market.
Red was forever building his ol’time museum buildings. Red was always hoping to share his love of the old ways with others that would come to his museum. He never got to complete this dream, but Paul Murray helped him share his wisdom.
Wilma always at his side, Red will give her prices for items to be sold; he just walks around ‘n spouts the prices to her. Wilma says “Yes” after each price. Then Red walks off to go see what else he can buy for his museum. Wilma, left to sell all of their wears, with a list of prices stored away in her head.
This is an amazing picture, very powerful. You captured way more than a physical resemblence of Aunt Emily. Her very essence seems to be with you when you view the painting. If you never painted another painting this alone would qualify you as a most gifted painter. I envy the person who will be the caretaker of this painting for future generations.
Many years ago I came across a young artist in a barn in the Harrow, ontario area. That young man was Paul Murray,I fell in love with a clown and purchased it. |my sister bought 2 small oil paintings, one of a racoon and the other of a winter village. She begged you to do a clown for her, which you did later. These clowns are large wnd well framed and with acid free paper. We had this done and the artist who did it was very impressed as was Dorothy Oxborough (a beautiful artist of aboriginal children).I also have a first edition of Mirrored Souls. Please give me an idea of the approximate value. We are elderly \(87 &84) and I want the family to appreciate the value when they inherite them,
Thank you so very much and continued good luck with your lovely works, Gloria Boudreau 905 894 3482
Paul it’s so nice to see the advancement of your craft and that you stuck with it for all these years. I heard some years ago from my old art teacher that our old public school still had a piece of my art on display. It was a great feeling to know that it still around. Of couse I proudly gave it to the art teacher who showed me how to enjoy the act of creating. I thought you would be pleased to know I still have your clown pastel. It’s odd, but every time I look into it I always observe myself and never had a need to look any deeper.
Hope it makes your day.
Your Friend
Randy
Dear Randy,
Paul says you went to school with his older brother Doug. Thanks for the compliment. It is a blessing to be able to continue his art and pass on the history and give back to communities. I feel strongly that the people I preserve are rich in many ways, and that they have been shelter from lifes supperficial trials. Their hearts are innocent to our self imposed drudge of progress, the rat race. I hope others continue to enjoy my work for many years as you have. Paul Murray, re Kati-Jane Murray
Absolutely wonderful, I saw this in Cowboys and Indians and had to check out
your website. WOW! would I ever love to have this ability. Thank you for sharing
I have an original of yours I believe and I would love to know the story because it looks so much like my little girls
Please browse the website and tell me which pictures it looks like, then I may be able to know which you are talking about. Kati-Jane Murray or call 1-888-728-5687

Hi Paul,
How’s it going Paul, its been a very long time. Some of your recent works are very impressive, who knew you would be so successful. I hope all is well with your brother and sister.
I’m curious about a painting you did for may parents back in 1979. For insurance purposes do you have any ideas of its approximate value, if any.
It was scenic painting of some mountains and a river, I could provide a picture if required.
I hope all is well.
Mike.

I bought the original pencil used for the “pie makers” prints. I believe their were 125 prints in the original printing. Do you know if there are any of these prints still for sale. I still have the original but a friend would dearly love a print. I think they were first issued about 25 years ago – seems like yesterday!
Robin
Hi Robin: My husband & I have a print of the “Pie Makers” & it is for sale.
Actually, we have two Printer’s proofs # 8/10 and 10/10.
Both are remarqued.
We also have many other pieces of Paul’s work for sale.
Please contact at the above address.
Ruth
I have one of the prints framed and matted that I would sell. Write me back at jwild40059@gmail.com if still interested
I have a framed matted one if you are still interested
In the 90’s I was buying a few prints, when you were still in Ontario.Your work is still amazing and you found your place in this world, that was your calling. We are the same age, I bought my first at a show in Wilberforce??? I am still looking for the clown poster.I love it.Could you maybe e-mail me if one becomes available.Thank you, have a great summer. Maybe, if Justin Trudeau wins our election, his Dad, Mom and Justin, could become an instant seller. Pierre was such a gentleman. It turns out the one guy, that was charged for claiming/overcharging expenses,was another child of Mr.Trudeau, Mike Duffy.Don’t you just love Canadian politics. Have a great summer Paul, I will be watching your site for the next little while. Yours Sincerely, Susan Wilson.
We have a couple of “how Many Clowns” call me so I can reserve you one 865-436-8445
In regards to Robin Briggs request looking for Pie Makers for sale, I have the prints 26/275 available for sale.
I am from a company in Ontario and I had a print of yours come in for a charity event to sell. When I came across it I was just not comfortable putting a price on it and putting it in a garage sale. The Charity event was a large garage sale and the proceeds are going to Hopewell Children’s Homes. The print is # 174 of 275 of Baking Flour & 1884 – 1984 Pastel faces Zoe & Joey.
I guess my question is what should I do with this beautiful piece of art?
Please call me at our Tennessee gallery before November 10 at 865-436-8445. You were right the value could cave as high as $2500 if it has been kept outside of the sunlight and framed with acid free mats and backing. Hope this helps. Sorry for the delay, but this review function does not trigger a notification to me the best way is to email or call. Info@ paulmurray.com
what is the name of the ruggaber girl?…i live on elmstead rd as does my sister in law who is a ruggaber…she doesnt recognize her…i recently read your book mirrored souls and would like to pass it along to someone in the ruggaber family
ANDREA is the Ruggaber girl she should middle age. Paul met her in 70-80’s when she worked at Lyles produce in St Clair Beach near Brighton. Pauls book is sold out and worth $350 now, just thought I’d let you know. Say hey to ANDREA and tell her to give us a ring when you find her 865-436-8445. Kati & Paul
looking at a lithograph by paul murray hand signed any information on it would be great its called ragman i can be reached at jrutkowsky@hotmail.com also what its value would be
Ragman was a labour of love for Paul Murray. The drawing itself was created from an unique situation. Paul’s family church had a play with the minister “Chuck Congram” playing “The Ragman” from a christian story. THis story was published and was put with the picture if I remember right. The church gave Paul Murray a small black & white photograph of Chuck Congram at the age of 18 and asked him to make the given picture. We were glad to offer the prints that we paid for its publishing, hoping this would help the church raise money for their new church building. ALthough we worked closely with the church to help them sell this print, this edition was never sold out. This therefore makes the image value at the issue price of $100. I hope this helps you, any further question please call us 865-436-8445 KatiJane Murray
I saw a painting of an Appalacian woman holding a gun an wish that I had bought a print. Is it available as a postcard?

I have a Tennessee Bonnet Print #251/450. It looks like a water colour, but your website shows it is oil. I’m looking for the current value to insure it. Can you confirm that it’s oil and that the value listed on your website is current?
Joan, You do have a limited edition of the “oil painting of Tennessee Bonnet” by Paul. He uses old world masters techniques that are called “Glazing” this is finely applied transparent layers of oil. Rembrandt used these techniques. So although this may look like a watercolor it is an oil and the value shown on the insurance guide on the order/inquire then click on our insurance guide. The amount listed is the most current value. Let me know if I can help you further. I am sorry about the delay in responding, please email me in the future with any questions or support needs. info @ paulmurray.com or call 800-567-3220
Thank you for having such a wonderful body of work, shining a light on the history of the area. Love your pieces that I picked up in 2017. They make a beautiful gallery wall in my new home and bring back happy memories of my road-trip through Tennessee. You will be missed, but I wish you a bright future in your future endeavors!
Thanks for your appreciation of Paul’s art. Please keep in touch with our emails and new projects that will bring the mountains and its people closer to you with intimate reality experiences. Paul and Legendary musicians will share their talents as well. You can also call or email us to make sure you are taken care of. Thanks for your patronage.
