Macquarie Towns Arts Society is very happy to have John Rice to demonstrate Landscape in Oils at their next monthly meeting on 14th May, 7:30pm at the Stan Stevens Studio, Deerubbin Centre, George St, Windsor. John paints almost exclusively in oils and is inspired by the strong light of the Australian landscape. He enjoys painting the landscape from life, “en plein air”, and engages in regular painting trips to country locations. John has no formal art education but learned most from getting out there and painting thousands of paintings. His primary influences have been the Heidleberg School of Australian impressionists
