Lunch time Jolie Brise

The time to think, is almost always the setting off on a journey. the grouping of gentle folk as sailors or boarders ready. The wooden beams, seating available, the yard arm make us aware of a traditional trade as the shipping nation for the seas.

Since graduating at Hertfordshire College of Art and Design, John Perkin has had many one man shows in Berkshire, the surrounding counties and London.
The subject matter of his paintings covers a wide range of human activity and landscape. 
The style is basically figurative, but where appropriate, abstraction is employed to suggest movement or mood.  
Also the unity of the subject may be enhanced by an indication of objects in the background through those
 in the foreground which would normally obscure them.
