A long time fan of the River Thames, John has always delighted in painting the famous river in all its different forms, he was recently very happy to have been elected as one of the members of the Wapping Group of Artists, a very fine group of plein-air painters who have a long history of painting the Thames and its surroundings.
One of the longest established societies of working artists in the country, this companionable band of just 25 statutory members, all dedicated and capable painters, meet weekly in the summer months to savour and record the every changing Thames and the surrounding land.
