Paul Burnett’s oil paintings of historical ports on canvas
by Steve Reynolds
Artist Paul Burnett has done some oil paintings of historical ports on canvas, all painted from historical archive photos in the State Library. (The Library allowed him to reproduce them in art as they are now out of copyright.)
Paul sent copies of some of his paintings to us after reading some articles on our website. Several of the paintings are linked to the subject matter in many of those articles.
