Welcome to Paul Bachem.com

News! July 2012. I am very happy to announce that my painting "Moored at Dawn" was awarded the Utrecht Award for Excellence for "Best Use Of Light" at Plein Air Easton! 2012 in Easton, MD. This is quite an honor for me considering the extremely high level of the other competition artists. I am very thankful to juror Tim Newton and all the good people here at PAE!.
News! April 2011. I'm thrilled to learn that I have been juried into the 2011 Plein Air Event in Wayne, PA! I will be doing Wayne in May, Cranford, NJ's "Paint The Town" in June and Plein Air Easton! 2011, Easton, MD in July.
Paul Bachem specializes in plein air landscape paintings. After a long career as a freelance illustrator, Paul now devotes his time to painting landscapes and seascapes from nature. His oil paintings and limited edition Giclee prints are in numerous private collections both in the United States and worldwide. "From the first time I painted out doors right up until I packed my gear after todays painting session, I can tell you one thing with absolute certainty. I am never happier than when I am painting from nature. Never!"
Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I am, for the most part, a self representing artist and sell most of my work via the "Available Paintings" link found on the "Paintings and Prints" tab on the menu bar at left. Take a moment to sign up for my email newsletter which I send out about once a week with links to new paintings as well as blog posts. This is the most up to date way to view my current pieces. If you have any questions or comments about the paintings, or anything at all, please don't hesitate to contact me at pbachem@optonline.net. Thank You!
