Modern and contemporary figurative paintings show John’s Scottish models, and some from China, draped and some nude as they pose in the studio, garden, on the beach and in bedroom. Scottish models are also captured in the Romantic Paintings page and are present in his Lady in Red series exploring life around Dundee, the City of Discovery.
John uses acrylic, watercolour, pastel and oil paints for his painting mediums, and is also happy to accept private commissions for pets, people, holidays, figurative paintings and any other topic.
Please contact John if you wish to see paintings in his studio.
“Chinese Beauty” acrylic, 40 × 30 inches
Chinese Beauty is an acrylic painting of Hongmei Li in a Tang Dynasty dress with a Chinese dressing screen behind her. Hongmei stayed in Dundee while studying the effects of nematode damage on pine trees in China. I worked from a photograph Hongmei had taken in China.
