Scottish Influences: The Dream State Art of Paul Barnes. Scottish Influences: The Dream State Art of Paul Barnes At first glance, viewers of the work of Scottish artist Paul Barnes see a fairy-tale land populated by cuddly furry creatures and lush trees.
But look closer and one begins to see a dreamy, almost unsettling quality to his work. And that’s no surprise since Barnes uses his art as a vehicle to explore the mind in its dream state.

Painting is difficult enough, but artist Daniel Castan adds the challenge of using quick drying acrylic paints while working from memory.
The French painter first began his craft at 40 years old with his initial intentions being to simply have fun. His "fun" exposed a natural artistic talent for recreating cityscapes in an unconventional way. By adding a resin to his acrylic paints, it speeds up the drying process.
