Hello and welcome!
My name is Chris Johnson and I'm an artist (and engineer) in Denver, CO. I began painting in 2009 as a little escape from work and grad school. I gradually invested more time and effort and now it is a significant part of my life and I consider it a privilege to be able to make art that people enjoy. I think painting can be made to seem difficult, but with a few rules to keep in mind, and a few practice paintings out of the way, anyone can do it. I never had a formal art class. I learned by trial and error, by watching instructional videos (David Dunlop, Quang Ho, and yes, Bob Ross!), reading a few books and by watching a few demonstrations at the Art Students League of Denver (www.ASLD.com). Part of what drives me is that I am never fully satisfied with any painting I always find something I wish to improve upon. Kind words from happy customers are also nice!
I am happy to talk about custom orders. If you have photo(s) of a favorite location, please feel inquire to see if it’s something I can do. Many of the flying pig paintings you see here came from custom orders.
I have exhibited in galleries in Denver, Omaha, Lawrence, and other cities since around 2012.
