SEPTEMBER 2024
JOHN NICHOLAS
“I like to travel, and I take numerous photographs, almost always thinking they might become part of a painting. Favorite subjects: mountains and rushing water, waves, city life, panoramas, and vistas; sometimes people. My paintings are all of places I’ve travelled. Favorites are the American West and especially Colorado.”
John is an engineer by training and a college professor in business by trade. All of his paintings are pastels, and he devotes a lot of time to thinking about and planning each painting, though he frequently tweaks the painting and deviates from the plan. Working evenings and weekends, each painting takes 3-6 weeks to complete. John is largely self-taught and became interested in art before grammar school. He considers each painting to be a new learning experience and somewhat of an experiment.
