Summer DayJohn has learned about painting mostly through years spent copying the paintings of the Masters. He confessed that he only began creating his own original pieces about a year ago. Summer Day is one of the most recent paintings he's brought to us. We just love the blue of his sky and the greens of his leaves. Photographs really don't do it justice, it's so much more impressive seen in person!
After the RainJohn's oils bring to mind the paintings of the 1930's. Rita mentioned that his work reminds her of the artist Gustav Baumann. John's paintings also bring to mind stained glass with their black outlines. His colors are slightly muted with subtle pops of vibrancy, much like the desert landscapes of California. He captures the feel of the landscape perfectly, like in the above After the Rain. You can almost feel the cool breeze whispering though the eucalyptus leaves and smell the rain-soaked greenery. We've seen many people stopped in their tracks by John's beautiful pieces. We can't wait to see what's next for this talented painter!
