Abstracts - Colour is John's subject, which ever motif he is exploring, his palette is his focus. Pushing colour contrasts to the brink, but managing to keep that balance, is what he most enjoys. In his abstracts the motif disappears and pure colour and composition are explored. His instinctive use of colour is inspirational and spontaneous. The texture of each layer is important, ultimately achieving a three dimensional effect. He is never in complete control of the out come, but relies on his feelings and emotions to guide him, until eventually abandoning the painting, rather than attempting to finish it.
