   John is getting ready for a important solo exhibition at the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art titled, “Transcendence: Truth in Mother nature.” In the system of composing about the paintings for the exhibition catalog, he walks the reader by way of the four seasons and the inspiration and challenges they bring to the landscape painter.

   This week, we required to share some of his feelings and paintings about Winter season with you.

   “Compared to the flurry of frenetic painting in the drop, winter portray is a great deal far more evenly paced to the climate. If we get any days of upper thirty-diploma weather, I frequently head outside to operate. This is the time to acquire benefit of the crystal clear light-weight and the bare architecture of the landscape which is ordinarily obscured. What may appear to the everyday observer as a stark and barren scene, often holds visual treasures for the artist keen to increase them selves into it. This is what I have appear to enjoy most about the Midwestern landscape. It does not entertain. It holds its charms closely—not pretty concealed—and requires curiosity, believed and exertion to carry them out. It is a authentic pleasure to learn something attractive to paint on a winter’s day.”

   “Painting outside is about producing 1000’s of tiny comparisons, judgments and alterations as we paint. It is as a lot an mental work out as it is bodily. The greatest problem usually is this: the brightest white paint on the sector is far more than a thousand instances darker than daylight! How we navigate that wide gulf and convert what we see into a plausible rendition of purely natural gentle is what takes so a great deal apply and skill. It is where by the magic and energy of portray is born.”
