Welcome to my Portrait Studio

I can do a TRADITIONAL Portrait , or something DIFFERENT

Let me put YOU

your whole figure , or

your face , YOUR SPIRIT

a family member ,

or even a pet or all of the above

INTO A SCENE

or a Memory of your choice

we can even create a scene together

as I have done for Wendy and Al

in this painting commission >>>

 

 

 

   

 

Al &Wendy had a good experience

in New Zealand,

Wendy had lived there for some time

so we decided to create a scene

that would allow them to share their

spirit with the memory

so in this detail (right>>) you can see

how I put them in this NZ scene

I actually took the shot of them

together(here)

then put them into the NZ landscape.

 

 

 

In this commission where I was asked to depict a lovely young grand-daughter

Poppy

I felt the connection of the grandmother and poppy was special so decided to add Gran Rowena to the mix ,

...plus I felt it would be a good thing to add yet another closer view of the quickly aging and changing Poppy

the butterflies flight , were a final glue that bound it all together

 

 

And here is yet another non-traditonal portrait

that I recently completed of myself

an oil 36x24"

Brief portrait history of John

John has been doing portraits professionally since 1967. He learned his craft working in the streets and squares of the world working with (and in competition with) some of the best portraitists the world has to offer!

Early in his career John worked in cooperation with a number of National and World fairs, EXPO '67 Montreal Canada and Hemisfair 1968, San Antonio, Texas and The Canadian National EX '68 to'74.

As a result his portrait work is hung internationally.

He worked and studied in Europe - Paris, Montmartre 1972-75, 92 and studied old master techniques with a Louvre copyist

For the last 25 years in Queenstown, New Zealand

From his vast reservoir of experience he can produce for you,a museum quality piece in just about any style or medium you desire!
