There sat Aunt Emily by the window in her favorite chair, like a queen on her throne… her royal cape over her shoulders.. the delicate light of dawn dancing over her face. “…her all knowing glimmer …the secrets she holds …her forever majesty!” We felt as though we were in the presence of a queen; when she spoke her stories spilled out like music in a song. She told us of days long past. Still, we were awed by the...

The subjects depicted are actual characters, most of which still live today much like the pioneers long ago. Their choice of a peaceful solitary life is expressed in the emotional portraits of Paul Murray. Capturing living history & richness of soul, is constant passion of Murray’s. The Appalachian Mountains and rural homeland farms have been his palettes since childhoodHe spent so much time on the farms since age 10 that he quit school at age 13 to draw full time. He published his first edition at age 16. Paul was showing his originals since age 11. “Mirrored Souls a Study of Paul Murrays’ Art” was published with stories of all of these unique mountain folk of Southern Appalachia. Murray is now an accomplished veteran in his chosen field.. His work has shown with some of the world’s finest; Robert Bateman, Michael Dumas, Brent Townsend, George McLean, and more. Since 16 yrs of age he has held one man shows and in the later year’s original auctions, to sold out successes. Now around 50yrs, Paul Murray once again is releasing new areas of his original process. He will release upon request, major and raw studio and location studies. If you find your favorite original sold ask what Murray may have in his studio that may be refined for public viewing. The major originals take many years of research and studying, and much preliminary work is done. To Murray at the time, these works may seem not worthy; this often happens when an artist has a preconceived idea of his successful finished idea. In many cases these studies are wonderful, insightful and intimate to both the viewer and the artist. Please call and inquire about this option, while the opportunity lasts. Kati-Jane
