After retiring, John came to Rockport. The Walker Gallery is completing its fifth year in Rockport. Artist Statement: I paint the marshes and wetlands. My paintings use a lot of color. And I try to get a lot of energy into them with brush strokes and thick paint. The effect of light on the highly textured work gives off a great energy. I have always loved the serenity and peace of the marsh and the flow of the lifegiving river. I try to capture the energy and color of the landscape in my paintings.
