December Newsletter

Welcome to My Newsletter!

Hello and welcome to my December Newsletter.

Christmas is just around the corner with its celebrations, family gatherings, and festive holidays leading us into the New Year and 2025. As I reflect on the past year, I am proud to have brought a variety of subjects to life through watercolour, many of which I have shared with you in these newsletters.

In recent times, there has been a noticeable trend of artists gravitating towards Acrylics and Oils, creating bold, vibrant works that complement contemporary interiors. For me, however, watercolour remains my medium of choice. With its gentle tones and delicate nuances, I aim to create images that invite viewers to pause and reflect. My paintings often evoke memories, spark curiosity, and provoke thoughts about the subject, its characters, and its colours. Knowing that I have achieved this connection with my audience gives me immense satisfaction.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported my work this year:
  • To those who commissioned me to paint their cherished subjects;
  • To those who purchased original paintings and mounted prints;
  • To those who took advantage of festive discounts to gift prints to loved ones.
  • And to those who enjoy browsing through my paintings on the website and newsletters.
Your continued support means the world to me.

As the holidays approach, I send you my very best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

I hope you enjoy the newsletter and browsing the artwork on my website.

Warm regards,

John
