We meet at the James-Lorah Auditorium in Doylestown on the first Thursday of the month. The meetings are free and open to all. Our speaker this month is John Ennis.

John has been recognized with over a dozen national and international awards for his portrait work. His subjects include hospital presidents, university deans, corporate CEO’s, board chairmen, physicians, judges, headmasters and other notable national figures.

In his words, “There are few art forms that lend themselves more to the expression of the human experience than painting a portrait. I use what time I have with a portrait subject to explore their life, their personality, and the perception of the people that know and love them. When I step up to the canvas, I am searching for something about them, their character, their love of life, their place in our world, but ultimately I am expressing my perception of them. It’s a shared experience and great fun. Left behind is a short but often intense bonding with an individual, family or group of people, and a legacy that outlives us all.”

“Working in oils, I’m drawn to paint on site with the Peace Valley Plein Air Painters. Rural, water and architectural themes are among my most favored. Back in my studio, I’m challenged to further manipulate my subject with lush notes of color harmonies. Recently, I have been nominated as an exhibiting artist member to the Salmagundi Club, NYC. I hold a BFA from Maywood University, where I received the Excellence in Art award and have had further study at The Art Students League, NYC. After having taught studio arts at the University of Scranton, I migrated to southeastern PA, where my work can be seen in various galleries and notable juried artist shows. I teach all media classes at The Greater Norristown Art League and conduct En Plein Air workshops. I am a signature member of the Philadelphia Water Color Society.”
