"John's
work makes you want to touch felty leaves, squeeze fat fruit,
push your nose into flowers and breathe deeply. It's no surprise
that his paintings are popular the world over; whether he is
painting a vineyard in Provence, the Humid Tropics at Eden,
or docks and beaches in his own native Cornwall, he touches
a very human need - the innocent thirst for light, pattern and
colour. We sense in John's paintings the sheer human thrill
of being alive.."
