About
My studio is my sanctuary where I escape the rush and noise of life and make myself whole again. I release my built up creative energy wielding a palette knife thick with oil paint across a canvas.
I was born this way. An artist. You can ask my parents. I always looked at life differently and noticed things others quickly passed over. I’ve been learning to see for almost fifty years now and at the same time learning to express my visions so I can share with others. These visual recollections continually dance in my head until I give them another place to live.
Lately, I’ve decided that no painting leaves my studio until it “singsâ€. They don’t all have to sing the same song but each painting needs a strong voice and an enchanting melody. It always delights and interests me when someone is drawn to my work. It strikes a chord within them and resonates true to some experience in their own life. The painting makes them smile, just as the process did for me. It’s a good thing to feel good. We each need to be reminded of all the good in life.
Comments on this portofolio
Wow, love the use of colour in your work. precise and well composed.
Love the vibrancy and mystery of your color sense.
Hi Debra,
Thanks for your lovely comments. Assisi is 3 hours away from our location. If you should return to Italy please visit you would be most welcome. As you realise I run courses but as you can already paint you could just use the studio and get on with it.
It would be nice to have someone with your experience nearby!
Kind regards,
John
