John Glover

John is a graduate of the Glasgow School of Art. He has exhibited at the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, the Royal Society of Marine Artists, the Pastel Society, and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. In 1982 he was a finalist in the Imperial Tobacco Portrait Award.

In 2004 at The Cambridge Drawing Society Exhibition in the Guild Hall one of John’s portraits, “Call of the Wild”, won the prize for the most popular painting as voted by the visiting public. Recent commissions include Sir Brian Heap, Master of St Edmund’s College, Cambridge and Dr. John Barratt, Headmaster of The Leys School, Cambridge.

His great loves are portraiture and landscapes. He works in a wide range of mediums including oils, gouache, pastel, watercolour and pen and ink. He has painted people from all walks of life, from grand official commissions to smaller more intimate portraits. In landscape, his work ranges from the windswept Scottish beaches and hills and the large East Anglian skies, to the glowing colours of France and the play of light on water and architecture in Venice.

John teaches many art classes, including Basic Drawing, Life Drawing and Oils & Acrylics at The Lothbury Centre in Weston Colville; Portrait Painting at Cottenham Village College Summer School; a Summer course of Portrait Painting for the W.I. in Oxford and Portrait Painting and Watercolours at Flatford Mill to name but a few.

John exhibits throughout the country and is delighted to be invited to exhibit once again at The Darryl Nantais Gallery, Linton.
