burden of a farmer - Acrylic Painting
The Enduring Burden of a Farmer Painting
My latest acrylic painting, "The Burden of a Farmer Painting," is a 24x18 inch canvas completed in 2025. This isn't just a portrait; it's a monumental homage to the unyielding spirit of the agricultural backbone of our society. When I set out to paint a portrait of a farmer, I wanted to go beyond the conventional representation and instead, sculpt a visual metaphor for their strength, endurance, and profound connection to the land. In this farmer painting, the central figure isn't flesh and blood, but a colossal statue, imbued with the weight of generations.
Medium:  Acrylic on Canvas
Size:  24 x 18 inches
Year: 2025

How to Paint a Portrait of a Dog in Acrylics
This will be fun. I have finished most of your animal tutorials. I have learned to paint all the birds. I am a landscape artist and never dared to tackle a wildlife portrait until I watched one of your tutorials. The way you teach, explain, and demonstrate the process allowed me to paint birds and butterflies... I have always wanted to learn how to paint dogs. Now I can give it a try. Thank you, John. I hope you realize what an amazing teacher you are. It takes a special artist to not only have amazing talent but also a desire to teach others. I am a member of the Hinesville, Georgia Art Council, and I have paintings in our local Gallery. I have sold paintings, and I am currently doing a Blue Heron commission for a client. This is all thanks to you. I have studied your tutorials for 4 years. With each new one you post, I become a better artist. I enjoy your Patreon site too, and I encourage everyone to sign up for it. It is 100% worth it! God Bless you!

I Can't Believe I Painted this Based on My Faith
I love this - your painting AND your message! 💕
I started painting in 2020/2021 during Covid. With absolutely no experience, learning everything I know from you and a couple other YouTube artists. Because you used your faith and the gift God has blessed you with, I found a love of painting. I share my faith through my paintings as well, and some of my favorite paintings are from your tutorials! 😊
I just wanted to share this to let you know that you are an inspiration to your viewers. We see you. And your work has purpose. Thank you for sharing your amazing work with us!
