Ragged Falls

 

John's love for art began in England at a very early age as he discovered the great satisfaction derived from his ability to draw and paint. His family moved to Canada when he was 11 years old where he continued developing his artistic skills eventually became an art major at H.B. Beal Tech. in London, Ontario with subsequent studies at O.C.A.D. in Toronto.
John started his artistic career as a designer/ illustrator, and after winning an international design award in his field he was recruited by a large design company in Chicago. John eventually returned to Toront where he continued a successful career as an architectural illustrator. John worked with some of the World's leading Architects and developers, and achieved recognition in that field with “Best of the Eighties” award for his work on the World Financial Centre in New York City.

John’s ongoing passion for landscape painting was deeply influenced by many artists including Richard Schmid who’s work he was introduced to while in Chicago in the 60’s. John currently lives in Victoria B.C. and divides his time between painting en plein-air, in the studio and sharing his artistic skills through workshops across Canada. "The quest for eloquence in my painting is continuous. Strong design elements, an appropriately chosen colour palette, spontaneous brush work and underlying luminosity are key elements that allow me to share with others what I see and feel."

 

Artist Statement

"A painting should be more than just style. It should have substance, make a statement, or give rise to thought and conversation.
I appreciate all forms of art whether decorative, non-objective or representational. My preference is to use my artistic skills to bring an awareness of the beauty that surrounds us and the environment that we take for granted.
I paint only subjects or experiences that I have personally encountered and strive to share the emotions that I feel about the subject as eloquently and creatively as possible.
My goal is to share with others what my eyes see, my heart feels and my soul yearns to understand.

International Plein Air Painters Associate Member, Georgia

Artist Statement:

I am inspired by the landscape mostly and love to paint on location to see the real colors and atmosphere. I do experiment by painting still life, the occasional figure or people, flowers and some abstract work. I am always on a journey to learn more. That means I have loads of studies and half-finished artwork to return to and play so I can learn more!

My love of nature comes naturally because of the era I grew up in. Mom always said don't come back inside until I call you for dinner! That meant I could go several houses down and play in a creek, or create forts, climb trees, etc. There you go! I paint trees, and rocks and water!

I have almost 50 years of creating art! I am in galleries and have participated in many invitational shows and competitions, winning awards over the years in a number of those. I say those things so you know I have experiences I can share with the potential student and collectors of my art.

You may connect with a piece of art and that is all that matters to you. I have found that most collectors are interested in the artist and their life and what has inspired us. 

You can learn a bit about me by reading the descriptions I have for each painting on my website. 

And, of course, there is the "About" page.

 

I also teach private lessons in my studio. Contact me if you are interested. 770-853-4696 (cell /text) 

no messenger on this cell phone

 

 

Contact me if you have any questions, or just want to chat about art. 

. 

.

I love that!

Artist Statement

For me, painting is a pilgrimage – a journey into the soul and the mystery of creation.  Through color, lines and brushstrokes I portray feelings that  often cannot be put into words. 

 

Whether I am painting  on a sun-drenched beach in Florida or Maui, in the Hudson Valley, near Italian castles or French chateaus, my "plein air" paintings capture the energy and spirit of nature. 

 

I work to capture both what is seen and what is not seen.  With intuition leading the way, when on location I allow what I feel to override what I see. With years and years of classical training under my belt my hand can easily follow my heart creating a work of art that not only represents the scene but also allows the soul of the place to come forth. 

 

Years of study with shamans has sharpened my understanding of energy, enhancing my ability to capture the invisible  bringing life to each canvas.
