The Story
I met John in Chicago. He was breaking down his easel. You could see he was an accomplished outdoor painter. The patina on his equipment was a soft neutral gray, a combination of all the colors.

We exchanged numbers and in the following year I visited John in his hometown of Portsmouth, England. Even though it was in January we painted outdoors every day. I completed four canvases to his eight.

The fascinating thing about John is his incredible focus on creating art in the vein of the old masters. He is constantly referring to quotes from the old masters starting with the impressionists and going back to the renaissance painters.

John's manner is closely aligned with the impressionists. He typically goes out in the field and paints a canvas in quick strokes never pondering on the subject. Once in the studio he sometimes wipes out the canvas since it failed to pass muster. John also paints self portraits and works from a model in the same quick "all at once" manner.

I hosted a auction of his paintings from his last visit to Cincinnati. I had a reception at my home in Clifton for John on Thursday April 29th, 2004 from 4:30 to 7:30PM to show his work.
