Artist Profile
John Ruth
NOTE: OFF-TRAIL Artist - Closed during Arts Trail weekends
Painter of landscapes, seascapes, portraits, still life and urban scenes. Commissions welcome.
"I have drawn and painted all my life. Most of my paintings are landscapes, but other themes have been family, figure studies, portraits, domestic interiors and fantasy. I strive to convey my sense of wonder at the world around me through my art and to bring out the magic of commonplace things and ‘the everyday’.
I paint mainly in acrylic on board, using the versatility of the paint to create delicate watercolour effects and overlay with stronger pigments. I like to use repetition and rhythm of line to suggest the rhythms and oneness of life."
