About the artist JOHN NEWMAN:
John Newman was born in the Central Valley of California and graduated from Fresno State University.
When he was a young boy, the wildlife artist hunted extensively the subjects he later painted in life.
During those years, he began his artistry by sketching and drawing.
Soon thereafter, this native Californian began to create with oil on canvass what he had observed during hunting trips.
The prolific artist had studied all species of water fowl and big game ever since he was a young man.
He had enjoyed many hours of the outdoor environment absorbing the beauty and natural habitat of the subjects.
His paintings had been displayed and sold in a one man show and juried presentational shows.
John had been commissioned to paint many paintings that still hang in offices and private collections.
