A BIOGRAPHY


Gerard Thomas Johnson II

Welcome to the spectacular and colorful world of G.T. Johnson II.  Gerard Thomas Johnson II, a self – taught artist, was born in Dallas Texas.  He spent four years in the U.S.A.F. from 1971 to 1975.

Utilizing the medium of watercolors, most of Gerard Thomas Johnson’s paintings began in an attempt to capture an impression or the effect of light and shadows on a particular object.  His powerful and expressive style along with his use of vivid colors excites the eye and truly brightens our imagination.  His style is precise and clear which presents a very real and life like portrait.

“When I start painting, I never know if it will actually work until I reach the final stage.  This is the moment of exhilaration that all artist wait for, but which seldom comes.  When that special moment presents itself, all of those long hours of struggle seem worthwhile.  I feel that a moment in time has been captured, and it is very satisfying.”
