"An Eagle's Desire" Ltd. Ed. Print by Paul Van Ginkel
Paul embraces the challenge of painting many different subjects which inevitably inspire new techniques and styles. However, he specializes in Western themes, specifically equine subjects (cowboy life, equestrian, polo, dressage etc). Intensely drawn to the beauty, passion, power and history of the horse, Paul feels he can execute a diverse variety of moods and compositions – from a small painting of a single quiet foal - to a large canvas of over 160 stampeding horses - to an abstract and impressionistic Stallion piece. Fortunately, Calgary has a strong market for Western paintings primarily influenced by the annual Calgary Stampede. Paul’s first painting in the Stampede Western Art Auction was in 1986 and he continued to be included for many years.
