P.B. Kime
is a self taught artist, born with a talent that developed through his
experiences in life and the ability to see and retain what he needed to
keep for paintings and future work. A lot of his work is what he calls,
"way back", or history paintings, events and life of the
yesteryears. Also, old buildings, some with a story that grabs his
talent and says, "paint me!" Some are just a bit of history
that can be used in another story. Most of his paintings are based on
and deliver a story of what happened, or how life was then. This he
feels makes a piece of work for the owner to show and admire in their
home of office.
Mr. Kime
worked with and studied the procedures of other artists. Some of these
were Dalhart Winberg, a well known artist of realism in woods, water and
country scenes, Porfurio Salanis, known especially for his hill country
bluebonnet paintings, also Harold Gore, who inspired "people
effect" in his work. Most of this association work was done on
location and in the field and is thought of by most as the best teacher
available.
Kime
taught for many years on location (outdoor campouts) and indoor five day
work-shop. With his recently acquired ranch, Paul feels he has
finally fulfilled a dream of a place of his own, where settings for
paintings are abundant and many others are close by. The ranch is
a beautiful old Hill Country setting.
The
Artist and his wife, Trish, live their with their animals, cats, dogs,
deer, turkey and other birds of Texas. They have been renovating
and adding on to an old house on the ranch for six years mostly in South
Western style. This has given Paul a chance to utilize his talent
to create the type of home they wanted.
