Paul Jules Butler, Child Extraordinaire

Deborah E Appreciating Art, Art Interviews, Scat N Style Article

The title, "Child Extraordinair" does not due justice when describing Paul Jules Butler. This young man is amazing! He is amazing in his own right, regardless of age, but taking the age factor into consideration is simply awe-inspiring. This is one young man that you will want to keep an eye on, as time moves forward! Welcome, Master Butler! Glad to have you on ScatnStyle.com

These questions are answered by Master Butler's mother, the founder of Founder Pamil Visions PR.

When did Paul Jules Butler first decide that he wanted to be an artist?

Paul Jules Butler, my son, started painting at the age of 4, in 2014. He had his first solo exhibition last year, in December, and donated all proceeds to helping the poor kids from Angola. The second exhibition, held this year in June and July was success too, and the money raised were donated to the local Franciscan nuns.

What was Paul Jules Butler's first art creation?

The first creation was an abstract painting, acrylic on canvas, in March 2014. Paul Jules discovered how colors blend, how complimentary shades create a beautiful motif, and how much fun was to control the brush, to make it do what you want. From there on, he never stopped painting. His creations got better and better in time, and he won his first international prize this year, with a painting of a tree, he made for his teacher: http://picassoartcontest.weebly.com/6-12-age-group-2015-season-1.html

What was Paul Jules Butler's first memorable art piece for him, that really made an impact?

This is hard to answer, because Paul Jules has many favorites. I guess The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh is what influenced and inspired him the most. A book about the art of Vincent van Gogh was also the first art book he wanted to buy, and he is reading it very often. He also enjoys watching art tutorials, especially by Bob Ross, because he finds them fascinating, and easy to follow. He currently does not have an art teacher.

Please describe "A Day in the Life of Paul Jules Butler, Artist Extraordinaire."

Paul Jules needs to integrate his passion with his school schedule, so he often waits for the weekend to paint, but he does sketch every day. He doesn't yet have a routine, nor a preferred place to paint. He can start anywhere and we don't mind the drops of paint everywhere around the house. But he is happy when he paints, and he often plays Caribbean music on his CD player to set the mood.

What does Paul Jules Butler do with his art?

Paul Jules donates about 50% of his sales to charities like Unbound. Facebook is his main place to exhibit his creations, but he had two solo exhibitions in Germany already, so we can say he is known locally. People who are interested in buying one of his paintings often send us a direct message on his Facebook page, and we respond as soon as we can. Many of his artworks are not for sale, because he loves them too much, and he doesn't enjoy partying with his "friends," as he calls them.

We are just starting this journey, but it is very likely that Paul Jules will continue painting, and will also continue donating much of his art to help less fortunate children.

What are Paul Jules Butler or your plans in the future?

We are just starting this journey, but it is very likely that Paul Jules will continue painting, and will also continue donating much of his art to help less fortunate children. He is now working for his third solo exhibition, which is, as usual, inspired by flowers, trees, and the magic of life.

In the words of Paul Butler, from website, "I donate about 50% of my sales to charities like Unbound."
