John is now based in South Norfolk and has been retired for several months. He classes himself as a modern impressionist painter, working in all media but preferring these days to work mainly in oils and watercolour. A lot of John’s time now is spent out in the landscape painting plein air, still in most weather conditions but snow, wind and ice is now not a preference. 

John is a member of the prestigious London Wapping Group and a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts of South Australia. He is also a member of several local art groups including The East Anglian Group of Marine Artists so a lot of his painting over the years has been done in Australia and around the many boat yards and marine landscapes of the British Isles. 

Many trips to countries further afield has opened up his horizons to the work of lots of well known overseas artists, allowing him to explore different compositions and subject matter and opened his eyes to another world of colour in countries like Egypt, Italy, Greece and of course Australia.

Painting has been Johns life and it looks like this will continue well into the future.
