John has been painting for more than fifty years. A self taught artist, John has been refining his technique while developing a unique style that has created a large following. His favorite medium is acrylic on canvas or board; his style can be described as realism and his subjects are based on his life experiences. “Nature is the artist. I try to duplicate it for others to enjoy. Whether it is a couple of Muskoka chairs sitting on a lakeside dock, or a pair of loons swimming in front of a wall of rock, I try to evoke a feeling of being there."
