John Crump's painting journey began in the 1960s. Well-known as a 'NZ impressionist' John's style of painting is celebrated in New Zealand and beyond. His bold, confident brushwork and beautiful color and drawing of landscape, and his ability to catch a fleeting moment of nature helped steer him toward plein air painting in the outdoors. John has been teaching painting for many years and is a favorite with students around the world.

Farm Road by Sharon Repple 16 x 16
This is a nice, bright and competent painting Sharon with a good feeling of sunshine and shadows. You demonstrate good drawing and brush skills and a nice sense of lighting. However, there is a design problem. The two buildings are too separated so that they are two focal points. Even if they were separate, I would have placed one slightly behind the other so that they connected and became one focal point. One other thing I feel to mention. The red area in the immediate foreground feels out of place. It is too chromatic against the bright greens in your grasses. It needed to be a darkish khaki like colour – perhaps like the sedge grasses that often grow in damp areas. It would then relate better to the colours throughout the rest of the painting. Incidentally, several of your trees come to the top edge of the canvas. Much better if they go right past the top, or stop well clear of the edge. Otherwise, a very nice painting.
Days End by Darla Calhoon
Your painting has a wonderful feeling of highlights and shadows Darla which, along with bold brushstrokes give a nice lively feeling. Try not to be too careful when painting fences and posts (have a look at mine – they are quite rough really) and avoid putting highlight effects (behind the trees on the right side of the painting) as any highlight near the edge of a painting will drag the eye away from the focal point. Well done!
