Brunelle
PAUL BRUNELLE (1954- ) born in Ontario, Canada, has been fascinated with art since he completed his first oil painting at age twelve. He has continued painting and drawing and began to sculpt in 1985. Paul describes clay as having essential qualities needed to create his art. In its pliable state, clay can be quickly sketched to capture attitudes and expressions, as well as designs and compositions. The clay can then be allowed to dry to the point when you can carve the surface detail of feathers and a variety of textures. The sculpture is then dried and kiln fired to the permanence of stone. After firing, the sculptures are painted with oils (for the birds) and acrylics (on the branches and other settings).
