John Turton - Australian Landscape Painter

Gallery Although I consider myself essentially a colourist, I have always used landscape as a means of gaining inspiration, as well as, as a way of conveying my love of the land.	First Sun	Coastal Plains
Australia's beauty and scale, it's shape and spaces, its light and energy are ever-stimulating. Through my experience of different places and the putting together of both vibrant and subtle shades of colour, I feel able to begin to portray some of the detail, depth and texture of the land.	Spicks Specks and Embers	Coloured Fields
To begin a painting, I initially lay down a few lines. To me, painting is laying colours next to each other to see how they respond. If it works, they go well. The more dramatic paintings are those where the colours vibrate.	Panel Tryptich - Commission
As the painting evolves, it will often take itself in different directions. The excitement of the challenge is what keeps me painting.	Gorge Walk	Lowtide
I welcome all enquiries for Commission work and Panels Here	Stillness of the Day - SOLD
