“The sea, the villages that border it and the people who
work it all hold a great fascination for me. The quality
of ever-changing stability makes the sea and coast
unending sources of inspiration as they beckon my heart
and hand.”
-Paul Landry
The work of Paul Landry can
brighten a room by its presence alone. Romantic images of flower-filled seaside
gardens, cozy cottages, and ocean shores, the paintings are bright and airy and
filled with lush colors.
Now one of the most
popular nostalgia artists in the U.S., Landry was born on the coast of
Canada, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The grandson of two sea captains (one
Scottish, the other French), it was inevitable that he, too, turn to the sea
as he grew older, working with fishermen on the banks of Nova Scotia and
helping them pull up their nets and traps. Never far away were his sketchpad
and camera.

Southport In Winter

Stopping by a country farm is
a rite of the fall season for many people. New England artist Paul
Landry lovingly captures the familiar scene. Crimson and gold maple
leaves, fragrant with the earthy aroma of the season, drift gently down.
The old barn is filled with late harvest abundance. Crisp apples, sweet
and tart, will be eaten on the ride home or squirreled away for
Thanksgiving pies and applesauce. Pots of bright chrysanthemums wait
outside, looking for a home on your front stoop, along with the first
couple of pumpkins that are ready for carving or eating. The Autumn Barn
holds the last light of an Indian summer afternoon and advertises that
secret ingredient in the very best apple pies: “Pick your own"

When we were children, winter meant one thing: snowy
fun. It meant days off from school spent building
snowmen, sledding down the tallest, scariest hill in
town or stockpiling snowballs for the battle of the
year. As adults, we often lose sight of the magic of
winter amidst thoughts of shoveling the driveway or
frozen water pipes. We forget the simple pleasures
of skating on a frozen pond, mitten-in-mitten with a
loved one. Paul Landry has not forgotten and Bay Skaters,
his newest Greenwich Workshop Fine Art Limited
Edition, celebrates the very best of winter. This
classic New England scene will bring good cheer and
warm memories all year long.

.“For
generations, schooners and other craft have fished the banks off of New
England, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia,” They could be out for weeks at a
time, fishing until their vessels could hold no more, before racing back
home from the banks. My Uncle Joe and his sons sailed these crafts in the
1930s and ’40s, and shared many sea stories with me. As much as they found
fun and excitement on the water, one of their fondest memories was returning
home afterward.”

snowsuit paralysis to the triple-dog-dare of the tongue-on-a-frozen-flagpole
to the Old Man’s “Major Award” burning bright in the front window, humorist
Jean Shepherd’s tale of Christmas with the family has become a modern
classic.

Artist Paul Landry
is known for his images of colorful gardens and scenes of maritime life. In
his latest fine art limited edition, A Sailor's Garden, Landry combines both
of these worlds to create both a beautiful composition and a collector's
dream come true. Radiant with hues and warm with nostalgic ambiance,
Landry's images tenderly wed flowers with our own universal fond memories.
His own love of gardening is his inspiration. Of A Sailor's Garden, Landry
says "Even though the sailor may be at sea for months at a time and enjoy it
immensely, he also loves the time spent in his garden caring for the earth.
Both sea and land calling his heart and hand. But, I wonder, if he had to
make a choice, would he agree that there is no place like home? And is there
truly any other place like your own garden?"

Paul Landry fondly
remembers his autumn visits to Aunt Martha’s farm and tasting the secret
ingredient of her apple pie. “She didn’t live very far from us but it always
seemed like a long ride because we couldn’t wait to get there.She had
vegetable bins filled to overflowing, baskets of glorious flowers, big
pumpkins waiting to be carved and plenty of green and red apples for making
pies. But when she baked her apple pie, you had to be quick. They were the
perfect blend of sweet and tart and she’d tempt you with warm slices. Who
could resist?”
