impressionism — Blog — Chesapeake Arts Center

Paul Hoyt, a Delaware resident, began his artistic journey after retiring from Healthcare Management. He began studying art in 2012, enrolling in various art courses including drawing, watercolor, acrylic and oil painting. He acknowledges Linda Minkowski for guiding his creative accomplishments. A sailing enthusiast, Paul’s works often depict nautical themes, namely scenes from the Chesapeake Bay, though he has also begun to broaden his subject areas to architectural themes and portraits. His style has an impressionistic quality through his emphasis of light and it’s fluctuations in his portrayals of modern life in the natural world. This is very evident in his representation of sun glistening on the water and highlighting chrome and glass.

In the Studio with Maryland Artist Catherine Rohsner
