Paul has captured the romance of living in the mountains through his watercolors of nostalgic mountain scenes and lifestyles set in the 1930’s – 1950’s.

While his arrangements and use of light may be simple, they portray typical mountain culture and values, and life’s pleasantries.

They are intentionally made to be wholesome and simple. Like our life in the mountains.

Besides the leading galleries in Tahoe and Truckee, you’ll find his vintage posters in the strangest places. Like McDonalds in Truckee.

You can find Bailey’s vintage posters at Alpine Mountain Systems in Truckee, James Harold Galleries in Tahoe City, and Art Attack in Incline Village.
