About Me

I'm Paul Cato and I live in Queenstown, New Zealand, with my family, two fluffy dogs and a very overweight cat. I am a professional artist, specializing in painting large landscape vistas - mostly from southern New Zealand, but also from all around the globe. I also love to paint enchanting figure paintings, often using my beautiful wife and daughters as models.

Coming up

By Paul Cato | May 3, 2007

I’ve been working on a painting which is bigger than I have painted in a while. No pictures just yet, sorry, but I will definitely take time soon to post some images which will show the progress on this canvas. Oh yes, the size – I nearly forgot. This painting is eight feet wide by five feet nine inches high, about 2.44 metres by 1.75 metres, so just the sheer size alone is very impressive. The canvas matches the grandness of the subject very well. The scene is from Milford Sound in the Fiordland National Park of south-west New Zealand.

Painting a fine art piece on a canvas this size has it’s challenges in both planning and execution but I’m loving it! Check back in a while to see what I have been doing.
