Amazing artist I've recently discovered while searching for resources in hopes to find artist who's work I recently purchased from an estate sale. I'm not sure if this painting is his but it may be?

I'm so sorry to hear of Mr. Landry's passing. I love his art! I have had a picture of his hanging in my home for the past 30 years. It was from a 1996 calendar, and I framed it because it brought me such joy and peace. Though I didn't know him, I feel grateful to have been influenced by his beautiful art.

I just saw that Paul died almost a year ago. His art is my very favorite and likely always will be. I am a lover of water, flower gardens, boats and quaint homes. His paintings speak to my very soul. Blessings to him and to his family. I am so fortunate to have gotten a glimpse into his view of the world through his art. In honor of his life and gifts to this world,

Hi - I never met Paul but when I was choosing a Lang wall calendar for 2019, I chose his. It just spoke to me. Especially when I saw August. I'm not sure, but it could be a painting of the Ocean City, NJ boardwalk where we have taken our children and now our grandchildren for many years. What a beautiful talent Paul had! The world has lost someone special, no doubt. But heaven has gained a wonderful soul. May he be painting beautiful scenes on heaven's shores. God bless.

Paul used his amazing talent to bring some happiness and peace to this world.
I consider myself very lucky to have discovered his art and his piece "Its a wonderful Christmas" is a cherished part of our Christmas season.He captured the setting of the iconic movie in a painting that touches heart and soul. Very sorry for your
loss (and the publics) but glad he had a
long life and admiration in his time.

I have always been struck by Paul Landry's soft and lyrical take on New England and things romantic and rustic. He worked in media that no other artist did, and was a master marine artist.

We will miss him and remember his great contribution to the field of marine art, and to people who love spring flowers, antiques, mansard roofs, carriages on wet mornings, ships at sea and places where their captains retired to when home from a full year on the bounding main.

May Paul rest with the same sense of peace he depicted. We wish Mary strength and calm.
