John McCombs - From the Painting category:
Attempting to paint the character of the landscape is more important than trying to capture its beauty – the aesthetics of subjects will appear on their own, from acute observation... It is important to stop painting when the statement has been made. (John McCombs)
John McCombs - From the Photography category:
When faced with prevailing, inclement weather conditions, photographs are often the only choice. However, it is possible to work from photographs as reference and still manage to create a spontaneous, on-the-scene impression. (John McCombs)
