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 everyones 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 its more challenging to do something no one has ever done before. And lets 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! |

Susanne, also a very astute collector of American paintings, furniture and lamps, had a hand in helping her husband create the book by contributing some of her collecting experiences which John penned into humorous illustrations and entertaining text. The book had very limited distribution when it was first published by TCA Publications in New Hope, PA. It was promoted primarily to the trade and was not released to major bookstores and retail outlets. Who knows how many books would have been sold in those days prior to the success of Antiques Road Show and EBAY. |
