Not sure what to say?

Oh Paul, just hate that we lost touch. Just found out you passed. My friend, how I loved being introduced to so many brilliant artists and interesting people. You helped me buy some great pieces. My house now looks like your apartment did, floor to ceiling art. Glad to hear you found a great partner too. See you in the next life, Champagne in hand. Love, hugs, winks.

I knew PAUL AND REALLY MISS HIM.

Missing you here on the earth plane

Paul, you have a movie about you and it is extraordinary! Miss you, pal.

Deepest condolences and sadness. There will never be another man like him. xx

Grief can be so hard, but our very special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

As it´s been sometime since I left my beloved NYC to take a graduate lectureship, I´ve lost touch with so many I´ve cared for.

I met Paul through an artist I was representing when I was only a year or 2 into my fine art representation & consulting business. Paul was very gracious , friendly & genuine towards meeting me.

I look forward to seeing the documentary about Paul he was a pioneer in the arts & had an amazing eye & instincts.

Paul was from another time, transported to exemplify grace culture and humanity. Thank you for contiueing in touching lives, seeing dark as a color to not paint in extreme, staying routed in beauty & prosperity.
