A BIOGRAPHY
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.”
