Welcome!<\/h2>\n

This website was initially developed in book format for family, friends, and fellow painters, to let them see the result of my enjoyable struggles with paint. I produced a website as it can be regularly updated, unlike a printed book which would soon be outdated with my next painting.<\/p>\n

It was initially in chronological order, with my current paintings at the end. But as I think they are more interesting, I changed the format to show my recent work first.<\/p>\n

I hope that as further years go by, I will be able to add many more paintings. I don’t sell, but I do give them away to friends.<\/p>\n

Enjoy !!!<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Work” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ background_image=”https:\/\/johndc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-gallery-55.jpg” background_size=”initial” background_repeat=”repeat” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” border_width_all=”2px” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”off|phone” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_position=”bottom_center” custom_padding_tablet=”17vw||17vw||false” use_custom_width=”on” width_unit=”off” custom_width_percent=”100%” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ text_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Prata|500|||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_font_size=”56px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” header_3_font=”|700||on|||||” header_3_text_align=”center” header_3_text_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.35)” header_3_font_size=”12px” header_3_letter_spacing=”5px” header_3_line_height=”2em” transform_translate_linked=”off” max_width=”700px” max_width_tablet=”70%” max_width_last_edited=”off|phone” module_alignment=”center” header_2_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_3_font_size_phone=”10px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” module_alignment_last_edited=”off|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]
