John
Fawcett
Is
veterinarian who has been painting professionally
since
1992.
He was selected to be in the Top 100 Arts for the Parks
contest
for two years in a row, 1996 and 1997. His first hand
knowledge
of horses and dogs is evident in his detailed watercolors
which
portray cowboys and the animals in their lives. "I want to
make
the viewer smell the horse, hear the hoof beats, have all their
senses
be taken in by the painting."
1996
was a year of transition for John who shifted gears from a full
time
veterinarian/part-time artist to a full time artist. He sold his
veterinary
practice of 17 years in Pennsylvania and he and his wife,
Elizabeth
started construction of a log home and studio in northern
Colorado
where they plan to live with their dogs and quarter horses.
John's
work has been featured in Art of the West, Western
Horseman
and the Equine Image magazines. He has received the
Artist's
Choice Award in 1996 at the Buffalo Bill Western Art Show.
John's
work can be seen in galleries in Arizona, Pennsylvania and
Wyoming.
