The Work
I paint pictures with the finest detail to display the beauty I see. I hope these inspire and encourage people as they make their way through life. I am now retired, but I have been a school teacher, a principal, and a pastor most of my life, and I want to keep inspiring others with my art.

The Artist
Though born in Placerville, California, I spent most of my growing up years in Africa and Canada. For the last 40 years, I have taught art and piano lessons, and served as a school teacher, a principal, and a pastor.
Art has been a part of my life since I was just a little child. It has been my oasis when life is most stressful and frustrating. As you wander down the paths I have painted, and view the scenes I have created, I hope you too feel relaxed and refreshed.
In each of my paintings I have captured life like realism for you to enjoy as the result of hours of work and attention to the finest details.
Paul C. Dennis
