         <title>Governor&apos;s Invitational  Art Show and Sale</title>
         <description><![CDATA[These are all of my paintings for this years Governor's Art Show held in Loveland Colorado beginning April 24th 2010. My Client Doug Farquharson who I did a big commission for in December of 2009 has graciously allowed me to use some more of his reference of Africa as the theme for my work at this year's show. The painting entitled Sanctuary is the painting being published in the show's brochure. 
A hearty thanks to Doug and Linda for this honor.

         <title>Africa Commissions</title>
         <description><![CDATA[I was commissioned to paint four paintings of Africa from a recent safari that Doug Farquharson  and his family took this past fall. Between Doug his wife Linda and his adult children I was given the most spectacular reference material to paint from. Some of the best time of this whole commission was seeing all of their pictures and experiencing some of the safari through their eyes. After much deliberation we finally chose these four images for the paintings. The paintings of the lions and elephants were surprise gifts to their children and the landscape was for their new home in Tulsa Oklahoma. Doug and Linda, I just want to thank you again for this opportunity to paint these for you and your family. It's been the best commission of my art carrier so far and resulted in some of my best work as well.

         <title>Artist Focus Show at Brushstrokes Gallery November 6, 2009</title>
         <description><![CDATA[For my show at Brushstrokes I decided to concentrate on subjects that are urban in nature and specifically Denver landmarks. Clients and patrons of the gallery often ask for specific scenes in Denver so I decided to focus on images that are popular with patrons and spark an artistic interest with me as well. Enjoy the show

<a href="http://brushstrokesstudio.com/john/upload/2009/11/5791A-Myan-Theater.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="The Myan Theater  Acrylic 16 x 20"><img src="http://brushstrokesstudio.com/john/upload/2009/11/5791A-Myan-Theater-thumb.jpg" width="120" height="94" alt="5791A-Myan-Theater.jpg" title="The Myan Theater  Acrylic 16 x 20" /></a>

I have good friends who live just around the corner of this theater so I see it quite often. When I drive by it on Broadway it always evokes memories of an old Hollywood movie premier I would see on TV. Seeing a movie at the Myan is always special and makes it feel like a step back in time when going to the movies was considered an almost elegant affair for the common man.
 
<a href="http://brushstrokesstudio.com/john/upload/2009/11/5790A-Union-Station.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="Union Station  Acrylic 24 x 30"><img src="http://brushstrokesstudio.com/john/upload/2009/11/5790A-Union-Station-thumb.jpg" width="120" height="96" alt="5790A-Union-Station.jpg" title="Union Station  Acrylic 24 x 30" /></a>

Union Station is such a Denver landmark and continues to be such a social and economical hub for the City of Denver. That being said I just think its a cool building and wanted to paint it. I am very pleased with the finished painting!

<a href="http://brushstrokesstudio.com/john/upload/2009/11/5660A--Companions-ll.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="Companions  Acrylic 36 x 24"><img src="http://brushstrokesstudio.com/john/upload/2009/11/5660A--Companions-ll-thumb.jpg" width="72" height="120" alt="5660A--Companions-ll.jpg" title="Companions  Acrylic 36 x 24" /></a>

If one was to visit Denver the 16th street Mall has to be a priority on everyone's list of must see places in the City. The shopping and restaurants are awesome and the views spectacular. The most recognizable landmark would be the May D&F tower which is in this painting
. 
<a href="http://brushstrokesstudio.com/john/upload/2009/11/5792A-Tivoli-Big.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="Tivoli  Acrylic  16 x 20"><img src="http://brushstrokesstudio.com/john/upload/2009/11/5792A-Tivoli-Big-thumb.jpg" width="120" height="90" alt="5792A-Tivoli-Big.jpg" title="Tivoli  Acrylic  16 x 20" /></a>

The Tivoli is a popular hang out with the younger crowd of Denver. It is located next to the Auraria Campus. It has great shops and restaurants and a fantastic micro brewery.

<a href="http://brushstrokesstudio.com/john/upload/2009/11/5635A--Destination.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="Destination Acrylic 12 x 9"><img src="http://brushstrokesstudio.com/john/upload/2009/11/5635A--Destination-thumb.jpg" width="89" height="120" alt="5635A--Destination.jpg" title="Destination Acrylic 12 x 9" /></a>

I had to sneak one more in of the 16th Street Mall. The fall was short this year but I managed to get a couple painted with the fall feeling in downtown.

<a href="http://brushstrokesstudio.com/john/upload/2009/11/5796A-Washington-Park-Summe.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="Washington Park Summer  Acrylic 30 x 40"><img src="http://brushstrokesstudio.com/john/upload/2009/11/5796A-Washington-Park-Summe-thumb.jpg" width="120" height="89" alt="5796A-Washington-Park-Summe.jpg" title="Washington Park Summer  Acrylic 30 x 40" /></a>

I am very partial to this park. Our gallery is only a few blocks from Washington Park so I see and experience its  beauty almost everyday. I have painted it a few times but never get tired of it. Its popularity with the residents in Denver is overwhelming and I get asked to paint it all the time. Every time I go and take pictures there is always something new to explore and paint so I never tire of the request!]]></description>

         <title>Frannie</title>
         <description><![CDATA[This lovely lady is named Frannie. She is the loyal companion of a great client of mine by the name of Jeanne Achziger. I had great fun taking her photograph in the strawberry batch in Jeanne's backyard. This is the resulting portrait. I am very pleased with the final painting and  honored to have had the opportunity to paint Frannie. Thanks, Jeanne!
