I was a part of the BFA program and graduated in 2013. Somehow I forgot that I was a part of the first class...? Anyway - While I was there I could feel the shifting focus from the traditional certificate experience into becoming just like every other art school (for the worse). I think closing the BFA/MFA program is not a bad idea, as long as it means the old system is restored.

I took my daughter to several galleries in Wellfleet, inc Blue Heron. We saw, we paused, we studied-- your work! We were impressed by your technique and the results. I see lots of artists work, but rarely do I connect so immediately that I commit the artist's name to memory to later further investigate the artist's journey. The bees, crystals, dry pigment technique is next level, produces such a rich effect. I really appreciate how much credit you give to Lisa and your kids, extended family for their deep and visible support. Community is important for baking and enjoying scones or making incredible art. Wonderful. Thank you.

Thanks your this!

I just discovered another great artist! Thank you so much :)

Wow, this is an incredible form of art and a great artist profile. Thought provoking. Look forward to seeing more of your work!

Love this!

Your decision to paint what was difficult and show them together is inspiring. I could not attend but the film is beautiful.

John, not only do your paintings, like your videos, reflect technical proficiency, but both share an originality that makes them especially engaging. Both present an insightful vision of a spectator who wants to share the experience. Your videos make my day and I always look forward to their arrival. I wish I could have made your opening but I was delighted to see such a robust turnout. Congratulations, John. You are loved and celebrated.

His paintings are like a stage tableau. Wonderful.

Great to watch John and see his great art. I've long been a fan of his here in faraway England. I'm an abstract artist and love to see the work of other abstract painters that John has filmed.

Marvelous work and performance!

This......ist real Fine Art

If anyone studied the history of photography they would never say they disliked pictorialism. Bravo for your wonderful video.

Thank you for this very clear and well thought out explanation. I am learning from it, and have shared it with a group of students, so that they might learn from it, too. Excellent video!

Good luck having a normal conversation with the owner about his product. He is a difficult, condescending personality. Not sure how he can stay in business with how he deals with customers. Long, stupid story.

We love you from afar, Jeff

Artists always sound like total tossers when they talk about their output. The only exception to this truism was Warhol.

Refreshingly fun work to sit and look at, or like Matisse said, "be with." John, I love Jeffrey Carr's work, and it was nice seeing the comparison to other painters. Jeffrey seems like a great guy and a very fine artist. Oh, and thanks for putting another wonderful video together, John, nicely done.

You must be real proud of that old dementia ridden pedophile who ended up in office. Enjoy the inflation, open borders, and crime that comes with the Biden Crime family. Did you buy one of Hunter's million dollar paintings for your home?

Thank you for a nod to Chromatic Sensitivity ! Now if only there were fewer GRAY cars on our streets... Why Gray ???

That's kind of embarrassing to be supporting Biden. He's a vegetable. You're voting for a vegetable. If Trump wins, I can use my baby fundie voice and at least afford my damn groceries, and not worry about national safety being in the hands of a man with dementia poopin' his pants.

Videos vs Real people.

Other images of L.N look very different

Good story that adds to the great History Of Ducktown. I wish it would have given some additional context for the neighborhood roots. As an immigration story the Ducktown Neighborhood cannot be separated from St. Michael’s Church ,School, And Theater. No Church no culture, no Families, no great memories that you shared. Maybe another project for you!

Beautiful!

What a lovely person, who tells his family story, with detail and pride,. Wonderful work and great video too , John- Thank you for sharing and congratulations Janice

What a heartwarming concept. A considerable amount of discovery work went into this inspiring exhibition. Only a sensitive and loving person could pull this together in such a cohesive fashion. Thank you John for providing a window into this thoughtful and thought-provoking exhibit.

So touching. It made me cry. Thanks 🙏

Who came here to see some fish titties

John, this is terrific!! Hoping you give them some direction; I could not agree more. Thank you!

Just met nury in delco 💕

Thanks for making this video learned so much from it!

Ironically enough, this vocal cadence is the same ones that I hear while watching "King of the Hill". Light, ever-pleasing, never angry, zero disagreements. Basically a grown woman using an appeasing child's cadence and vocal tone to not seem "to aggressive/angry/rude/disagreeing."

I enjoy your documentaries so much John! They really fill my well :). This news is very sad, indeed. It had me scratching my head when I heard you describe yourself as a "Pompous Ass" (PAFA PASS) and later a "Pompous windbag", which I know was just a dip in the doc volume.... but it made me chortle! You're never pompous! Your docs + eerie music give me so much pleasure! Cheer up dear friend. The news may be bad but your work never is. Nina, Waving from Toronto

Thanks - this was a beautiful and inspiring interview.

wow this is some terminal TDS

Great movie. Do viewers know that you also composed the superb background music? Readers of this comment, at least, do know now! Your own artistry, Johnny boy, is itself a testimony to PAFA’s impact on your life of boundless creativity in so many realms!

I was a certificate grad . I loved that school !

Nice work John; I agree they were some of the best years of my life!! 0:22

John, what a lovely gift this is to Lynne. You are so thoughtful to have gone back to look at the edited video, and send her what was taken out. Very kind❤️

She knows how to load her brush and make a bold, summery, strongly yet unpredictably patterned statement. They have a vividness that isn't a fleeting moment captured, nor yet eternity. Looks like time slowed down just enough so she could finish her work and that work a testimony and act of appreciation for whatever caught her eye. I like them.

Beautifully made.

is it just me or was a lot of this artwork rather sub par? I was expecting a much higher level across the board.

This is a great summary of where America's oldest art institution stands, and the work it has traditionally produced. Degree or non-degree, it's a damn shame PAFA is in its current state of uncertain suspension. The artwork and the students appear to remain amazingly upbeat. And John, your optimism is just what the doctor ordered. Fingers crossed for a full recovery.

Lol they are too funny

Promo*SM 😒

I have one of his paintings want to see it

eye soothing art
