Welcome to John Quinn's art gallery. I like to work on large canvas with oil paint. My favorite subjects are animals and human portraits. Most of the subjects in my paintings have dramatic shadows since I am fond of the old masters. If you have questions/comments, please Email me.

	Status: complete? Medium and Dimensions: Oil on Canvas - 40 X 54 inches Description:A large self-portrait in a fantasy-style. This painting took a lot longer than anticipated. I redid the background and my cat 3 times. The cat kind of took over the focus of the painting.
	Status: not finished Medium and Dimensions: Oil Description:This is a trial painting for a portrait that I am working on. I am trying different shades of red in the skin and testing out hair styles.
	Status: available Medium and Dimensions: Oil 30X36 inches Description:I don't paint too many outdoor scenes. They seem so tedious. The field is a bit surreal since it does not exist. I worked from tulips in a flower pot. I probably will work on this one some more.
	Status: Given to Jake Medium and Dimensions: Oil - 36 in X 50 in Description:I used Hals' and Van Dyck's cavalier portraits as a reference for this painting of Jake. The cuffs of the sleeves do not match the style they wore, but I tried to make everything else look authentic.
	Status: Collection of Mike Medium and Dimensions: Oil - 24 in X 36 in Description:A painting of Mike Brandt in the style of Rembrandt. I think it looks pretty good even though I did not have a ruff or Elizabethan garment from which to work. Once again, my digital camera did not take a good photo.
	Status: available Medium and Dimensions: Oil - 32 in X 46 in Description:A painting of my 2 cats. The black one has the usual irritated look on his face. Orange cat is focused elsewhere.2004.
	Status: Given as gift Medium and Dimensions: Oil - 16 in X 20 in Description:I don't paint many flower still lifes, but these flowers had neat petals. 2004.
	Status: available Medium and Dimensions: Oil - 32 in X 42 in Description:My yellow lab, Ben, in a more dramatic pose. He has had a long day. Painting fabric designs is no fun. 2004.
	Status: Given to Antin Medium and Dimensions: Oil - 36 in X 42 in Description:My friend Antin posed for this portrait. He didn't mind looking rediculous. I had to do a lot of washes to simulate the light sources. My digital camera has trouble photographing it. This painting won a cash award at the Ursinus Art Show 2004.
	Status: In Collection of Ursinus College Library Medium and Dimensions: Oil - 30 in X 40 in Description:This is my cat, Mr. Tiggums. A very common pose for him. He is always a joy to paint. Of course, his fur is very difficult because it is so inconsistent. This painting won a few awards at the Ursinus Art Show 2003. It hangs in the Ursinus library.
	Status: In Collection of Artist Medium and Dimensions: Oil - 24 in X 30 in Description:My yellow lab giving a big smile. He has a lot of yellow ochre and burnt umber in his fur. 2002.
