RECOGNITION
FASO Featured Artist May 2014. Art critic Brian Sherwin, Editor of The Art Edge, commented on Paul Bachem's plein air paintings. Sherwin said, " Paul Bachem has an eye for capturing the charming essence of daily life. His work is a testament to the joy one can discover simply by observing daily scenes that may otherwise be taken for granted in our fast-paced world. His painterly works are marked by a lovely use of texture... revealing the peculiar beauty of lush rural fields and quaint town settings."
I was very proud to be one of the featured artists in the April/May 2014 issue of Plein Air magazine. There is a link to a PDF version of the story under the articles tab above.
News! July 2013. I am very humbled and honored to announce that my painting "Red, White and Blue" was awarded first place in the recently completed Plein Air Easton! 2013 Quick Draw on Saturday July 20th 2013. What makes this even more special to me is the juror, Don Demers, is one of the foremost marine painters in the world and an artist whose work I greatly admire.
News! May 2013. I am very happy to announce that my painting "Valley Creek" was awarded an honorable mention at the recently completed Wayne Plein Air Event in Wayne, PA. Painted on site in Valley Forge National Park.
