John Lives on a small estuary off the Solway Firth in South West Scotland. The light-saturated dynamic space echoes with the wild calls of birds; he finds it an exciting place to work, and a constant source of inspiration. Much of his work is from this area.

    

 

"I draw and paint directly from nature as often and as much as I can. There is no substitute for this first hand experience, for the intensity of seeing this generates. I strive to preserve the essence of the field sketch in the ensuing studio painting which is completed in acrylic, oil or pastel. My aim is to create something visually interesting in its own right, I love the whole process of mark making."

2007 was an important year for John with the publication of 'Between the Tides' by The Langford Press and promotion to full membership of The SWLA.
