Every cloud has a colourful lining! The suspension of art classes has given me the chance to indulge my love for abstract painting. Full details of these creations are on my Abstract page.

Just in case I haven’t managed to contact all my student friends, art classes are now suspended until 12 October.
See you soon, hopefully.

“Release the Endorphins” is my latest abstract.

I was working on a very detailed double portrait last week – the levels of concentration were such that I firstly started to experience a pain in the back of my neck which spread to my lower back. Ouch. As soon as I finished the portraits, I started this non objective abstract, the total opposite to the photo realistic portrait I had been working on.

Wow!! It released the endorphins and the pain disappeared – hence the title !

The Dublin Art Book, launched today (2 Sept), features two of John’s works. The book is part of a series that celebrates cities through the works of their artists – previous cities that have featured include Cambridge, Oxford, Edinburgh and Liverpool. For more details click here

I only managed to do this interview on the last day of the exhibition – but I hope you enjoy it. Thanks to Ken Adams for creating the video and Brian Swartz for the music
