John Neale

John considers himself an artist working in the English tradition, but greatly influenced by the French Impressionists, he paints mostly in oil and watercolour. He enjoys the challenge of painting in the open air and particularly in capturing the varied effects of sunlight and shadows. John sees himself as very fortunate to have had guidance from the late Edward Seago, an artist considered by many to be the greatest English landscape painter since John Constable. At one time, John’s studio was a narrow boat which featured in a television film about his work made by the BBC.

John’s was recently commissioned to paint Balmoral for the last Queen Elizabeth II and hangs in the Royal Collection in the Balmoral Gallery.

John has also been represented by galleries in London, the provinces, USA and New Zealand.
