About the Artist
John painted pictures all through
his school years but it was in the early 1970s before he began to look on art
with more interest. By then John was married with two children and living in
Shropshire.
John's first exhibitions were with
the local art group in Wem. That then progressed into having paintings entered
into exhibitions in Shrewsbury with the Shropshire Art Society. One thing
followed another and before he knew it he was holding exhibitions in various
parts of the country.
Various art galleries throughout England and Wales
promoted John's work and to them he will remain forever thankful.
By the late 1970s John was painting for a living
and also teaching watercolour Painting for evening classes held by the
Shropshire Adult Education Service. This led to him giving painting
demonstrations for various groups including the Women's Institute. It is his
love of watercolour as a medium that drives him on.
During the 1980s John was painting two or three
pictures a week, he painted every day and enjoyed every minute. Unfortunately
he began to suffer ill health in the late 1980s and because of this he found
painting to be quite difficult.
I am now extremely pleased to be able to
offer for sale fine art prints of some of John's
paintings.
He now looks on
the internet as a means for him to share his work with the public, I thank you for your time.
My name is Susan E. Wood and John is my husband,
due to John's failing health I manage his website and any enquires can be
addressed to me.
