John Salminen is a world class watercolorist.
Winner of more than 190 National & International Awards.
Has won the bronze, silver and gold medals from the National Watercolor Society.
Only 5% of all artists achieve the DOLPHIN FELLOWSHIP! Denoted by the “DF” following his signature.
John loves to paint intricate scenes with lots of details. When he was here for the opening, he discussed how he chooses locations specifically that have no negative space. (ie: under bridges, under the “loop” in Chicago, under wires and cables in S.F.)
For that same reason, he loves to paint rainy days. Otherwise, the pavement would be boring – rain allows for reflections, shine and tone changes.
John is an expert at making an ordinary scene seem like a memorable event, as in the Men buying meat at the Butcher’s.
