The Artist:
Paul Blaine Henrie (4 February 1932 – 18 October 1999) was an American painter and illustrator who was known for seascapes and coastal scenes.
Born in Tampa, Florida, he became known for his watercolors and palette-knife oil paints of California coastal scenes as well as exotic locales he had visited in Tahiti, Mexico and New Orleans. He established himself in 1960 in the artist community of Laguna Beach, California, where he lived in a hillside home with his wife and child. He later moved to Carmel, California.
Henrie's biggest problem had been keeping up with the demand for his work and has a large number of collectors including celebrities Vincent Price, Glenn Ford, Jack Lemon, Jack Benny and Edward G. Robinson.
Paul Blaine Henrie died in 1990 in Newport Beach, California.
