Paul Kratter
oil paintings

Holton Studio Frame-Makers has been representing East Bay painter Paul Kratter for several years now, gathering an enthusiastic following for his scenes of the state, from the Sierras to the seashore. The humility and joy that Paul carries with him, along with his brushes, paints and panels, out into the hills, mountains and to the seashore is directly reflected in the work he produces there. His forthright use of paint and astonishing rendering skills allow him to capture the East Bay and California landscape with a direct and confident touch earned by long devotion to the land and to making pictures.
