When I was 10, (1960) our teacher took us to The Art Institute of Chicago. I was so impressed with the Surrealists, I had Salvador Dali-dreams for a week. I have been obsessed with art ever since.

My paintings are BIG, bold and very original. Web photos do not do them justice. I work in just about every media, but my favorite is oil on canvas. I usually use gallery style canvasses, so you do not need to frame them.

My paintings tell a story. In each life come precious moments when the weather is delightful, the company grand and the whole world is a beautiful place. I collect those moments.

Welcome to my collection... Paolo (Paul Deardorff)
