A lifelong resident of Huron County and a for- mer resident of Seaforth, Carroll is embarking on a number of `heritage topics' for much of his work. He has completed a series on 'The Goderich Lighthouse' to illustrate how that building has changed over the period from 1860 to the present day — and continues working on a number of Canadian lighthouse paintings to illustrate other beacons along the Lake Huron and Georgian Bay shorelines. "My passion right now revolves around a num- ber of marine paintings taken from historic pho- tographs of early harbour and waterfront scenes at Southampton, Goderich and Bayfield. I love visualizing early life in our settlements and I want to bring that time to life!" says Carroll. Carroll has been making a fresh start with his efforts at painting — after•a long absence from dabbling in various media. Sample of artwork by Paul Carroll As a teenager, he was the youngest member of the Goderich Art Club around 1960 — working under the tutelage of local artists, Tom Pritchard, Martha Rathburn, Lu Legg and Muriel Watson. At that time he was introduced to oils — using the palette of the 'Old Masters': Indian Red, Yellow Ochre and Cerulean Blue - by his first mentor, former Harbour Master, Tom Pritchard. He has completed a number of short cours- es at the Southampton Art School. Paul has been an active member of the Goderich Co-op Gallery for the last three years. "I have been exper- imenting with water- colour, pen and ink - trying to expand my repertoire of tech- niques to develop a unique, often `folksy' style that reflects my per- sonality, and the way I view the world around me. My work contin- ues to evolve," he says. In his first, A donation of $500 was made recently to the Seaforth Lions Club by the Seaforth TD -Canada Trust Bank.
