Artist of the Week - John Boyle


Our artist of the week, John Boyle, has become a respected and established artist in his local area, gaining press coverage by hosting a one man portrait exhibition and taking part in group/collective art shows. He paints in a variety of styles using
mainly Acrylic and Oil paints. The majority of his commisions these days come mainly for portraiture work, where he paints the subjects from photographs.
John has always been interested in Art from a young age, and continued his interest as a hobby throughout his adult life. Now, finding more time, he has been able to commit himself more to his art and has sold paintings both locally and abroad. John will now be taking part in regular exhibitions where his work can be viewed and bought.
I particulraly like this painting - John painted it as a commission from a client who loved John Singer Seargent's Lady Agnew of Lochnaw and wanted to have a copy done. If you compare this painting to the original, it will give you a very good idea of John's attention to detail and ability to capture a true likeness.
If you are looking for a truly original purchase, whether as a Birthday, anniversary or Wedding gift, John would be happy to consider a commission.
