Poul started painting at an early age in his native Denmark where he studied under well-known Danish artist, Zarus Nielsen. Moving to Canada in 1951, he studied evenings for three years at the Ontario College of Art (OCA) attending classes under John Alfsen and George Pepper. He studied a further three years under different teachers through the famous art school. He has painted full time since 1972. Poul prefers to paint on location, to capture the immediate response to a scene in nature. He hopes to convey those feelings to the viewer, painting oil and watercolours in a loose impressionistic style.
