“Lazy River Days” is No. 3 in a series I was doing during my last painting spell in the late 90’s, early 2000’s (this one was completed in March 2010) and was the second to last painting I was to do until 2018. A gift for my mom, she had it custom framed and it has been hanging in her room since that same year completed. This style was something I was really interested in experimenting with and was building off of an earlier painting, No. 1, now lost to the ages and sadly it was my favorite personal painting of all time. Playing with thicker and more rapid brushstrokes, trying to “loosen-up” as much as possible, not sweat the details, it’s an attempt at Impressionism and I gave up on it way too soon and never got my style dialed-in. I shall explore this again. Painting Details: (All materials used were current “models” from mid and late 90’s) -Pre-Stretched Canvas, 20x30” and personally prepared with a blue tinted Gesso “under coat” -Only used 3 brushes; Grumbacher Bristle, Flat #3, #4, #5 -Paint used; Winsor & Newton Artist Colour and Grumbacher PreTested (back when it was good), 11 different base colors mixed to hue and varying thickness -Final painting was sealed using 2 coats of High Gloss Damar Varnish -“Custom Frame” made of real wood, crafted and stained to Collector’s taste This original work is a Custom piece and cannot be duplicated. Having said that, I welcome the opportunity to discuss making a similar Original Commissioned Piece (it will NOT be a copy, but shall have the same feel as the original). All Commissioned Painting requests are welcomed.

John is a Professional Photographer and traditionally trained Illustrator who is based out of Los Angeles, CA (aka Hollywood). Having been trained in all aspects of Film Photography in the 90's, where he won the "Most Outstanding Photographer" award his last year at University, he has never really wandered too far away from his film roots and his style and knowledge reflect that education. Currently, he shoots Images for TV shows and Movies where his work is seen around the world and featured in numerous Ad Campaigns. Apart from his "daily Hollywood" work, he considers his "Street Photography" imagery to be his true passion when it comes to his own "pure Photography." ---- With a background in Architecture/Design and Illustration, part of John's Education was in Oil Painting, a medium he instantly fell in love with at University. He has had a couple of start and stops over the years, but is now back in the "studio" whenever he can carve-out the time. John jokingly describes his Oil Paintings as, "Cheaper than going to therapy", and has been re-mused, painting with the passion he had when he first discovered the world of painting. His style has been described and "heavily Impressionistic" and it is something he takes great pride and joy in hearing. Ever challenging himself, John has always been attracted to the Pen & Ink Watercolor style of urban sketching and has now also added that Meduim to his arsenal of Art. "Watercolor is a fascinating medium to work with, it's alive and loves to do its own thing, many, many mysteries." he comments. Welcome to John's Saatchi Page and enjoy exploring.
