A Blue Reflection Original by John Horsewell
Essex- born John Horsewell had a love for art from an early age; unsurprising when you consider that his parents and grandfather were all professional artists. Whilst at school he experimented with all forms of media, soon realizing that oils were most suited to his style of working, best allowing him to convey the light and shadow he desired.
Coming from a background of both parents and grandfather being professional artists, Essex-born John Horsewell’s affinity for art was no surprise. Experimenting with multiple mediums while at school, John found oils to best suit his style of light and shadow.
While professionally being in the interior design industry, he continued to paint as a hobby and exhibited his work extensively both close to home and then when he had established himself across Manchester, Birmingham and London. In 1978 he decided to pursue painting as a full time profession, and has experienced great success in doing so.
John Horsewell most frequently chooses to depict his own most loved landscapes, from the vistas of Southern Europe to the tranquil shores of Florida, where he spends much of his time. His paintings are executed using both brushes and palette knives, giving them their distinctive texture. The flair with which he paints communicates the pleasure of the location he has reveled in, inviting the viewer to share in the experience with him.
Working today from his studio on the Essex/ Suffolk border, John Horsewell continues to express his affection for the natural world around him, his technique ever evolving.
