John Horton: The 90 Year Retrospective, Honouring 81 Years of Painting
Petley Jones Gallery, Vancouver, BC - Oct 30 – Nov 19
Widely recognized as one of the finest marine painters of his time, the Delta, BC–based artist is known as much for his pinpoint accuracy in depicting ships, seas, skies and shorelines as he is for his meticulous research practices. In what might be the ultimate compliment for a painter whose subject interests range from the 18th century to the present, it is said that while viewing a John Horton painting, one can ascertain the season, the time of day and even the temperature. petleyjones.com
