Back From The Grand Tetons!

Susanne's camera captures this spectacular view of bison moving to lower ground as the first winter snow begins in Grand Teton National Park.

John and Susanne took a wildlife safari personal guided tour of the park and saw moose, antelope and magnificent herds of elk. The sound of a male elk trumpeting at early sunset to keep his herd together was a totally new experience and underscored the need to protect these elegant creatures.

To see huge herds gathering in the lowlands against the backdrop of snow capped "Sleeping Indian Mountain" in Jackson Hole ,Wyoming is an unforgettable site.

No wonder so many American artists are attracted to this area.

Stinger to Exhibit at Stover Mill in October 2010

John was recently invited to exhibit again in October 2010 at the beautiful Stover Mill Gallery located along the Delaware River in Erwinna PA in Bucks County. It is one of his favorite locations to paint, especially in the fall.

His initial show at the Mill was back in 2006 where he painted “Summer Shadows” in 2005 (see picture) which has become one of his signature works.

Since that time, many local artists have now re-discovered the beauty of Stover Mill where it sits so perfectly along the banks of the river. But never content to sit on past success, John will be doing something very special for this show that will be sure to capture everyone’s imagination.

According to John, “So many artists have painted certain spots in Buck County that are so spectacular that their paintings and scenes have become classics. They are painted so well that these great painters own the look and feel of the scene. For that very reason, I stay away from what others are doing or have done in the past, because it’s more challenging to do something no one has ever done before. And let’s face it- who could paint a scene better then Redfield or Garber? I ‘d rather be a painter of my own time, create my own icons and honor the old masters by not painting a scene they have totally made their own.”

We look forward to see what he has planned for this great show!

Landscape Artists International

John was recently accepted into the LAI, a prestigious group of international landscape painters that select members based upon their professionalism. A judging committee of selected LAI members reviews applicant’s works and decides who is admitted into the group.

Stinger Returns from Lipking California Workshop

John recently returned from an inspiring painting workshop held in Los Angeles by internationally known painter Jeremy LIpking. Pictured above is Mr. Lipking on the left demonstrating his approach to a portrait painting in oils as John studies his technique.

Another session featured the use of a figure incorporated into a landscape setting.

The entire workshop was intensive and included hands on direction as well as frequent critiques with an emphasis on brushwork, figure placement, as well as pre-planning the subject prior to painting.

Lipking has had 6 one- man shows in New York and Los Angeles and was awarded the California Art Club Gold Metal. He also won Best in Show and First Place from the Portrait Society of American International Portrait Competition in 2006 and 2007.
