John McCormick’s meditative landscape paintings are inspired by the area that surrounds his Northern California studio. Beautifully composed and executed, his paintings have the quality of a memory that is somewhere between past and present, familiar and foreign. Through rich color and illuminating light, he achieves a dramatic sense of place and experience. Inspired by the 19th century Hudson River School painters, his paintings address his concern for the environment and the fragility of our vanishing landscape.
