Artist's Comments

For the Flavour of the Month: St Ursanne on john-howe.com.
I decided to try and gather enough patience to spend more time on a single painting.
I wanted to paint those two "elders" of St Ursanne who were observing the happenings around them on that sunny afternoon. They just seemed to be so much part of that town that I had to take a photo of them as well.

St Ursanne is a small Jura town in Switzerland where a lot of the people from John Howe's forum met for the first time to see the opening of his exhibition in June 2007.

It feels postcard perfect, but has more depth and story behind it.
And having looked through the albums of pictures you guys took while there, it has the feel that i get looking at those pictures. Sweet. :nod:

Same here. I really want to go there in 2009 - but still not sure if I can afford the trip. But it would be great to meet you and the other Howers. Let's hope we both make it! :fingerscrossed:
