The work of Paul Landry will brighten any room. His romantic images of flower-filled seaside gardens, cozy cottages, and ocean shores, are like fresh breezes in your home.

Landry, the grandson of two sea captions, was born on the coast of Canada, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and the coast has been a lifelong inspiration. He made his home in Connecticut, taught at Westport’s Famous Artists School and wrote the popular textbook "On Drawing and Painting." His second book, "The Captain’s Garden," was published to unanimous praise in 1996. His third book, "At the Heart of Christmas," is a popular gift book.
