Autumn Friends
John
Weiss’ favorite theme of companionship is beautifully
realized in Autumn Friends, his latest release.
Brilliantly combining colors and textures, Weiss creates an
image that conveys emotion and humanity. The pair of friends
in this image may be familiar to collectors who have seen
his series of Grady images, including Old Friends, Forever
Friends and New Friends —all Sold
Out at Publisher. In Autumn Friends, Weiss captures
a man and his dog on a crisp autumn morning as they set out
for another of life’s adventures together as faithful
friends.

The
Art of John Weiss: Deep and Loyal Bonds
John
Weiss is one of America’s best-known animal portrait
artists. He has admirers around the world, including Queen
Elizabeth, who was presented with a Weiss painting from
Lady Barlow. His paintings are considered to be much more
than portraits. They convey the deep and loyal bond between
dogs and their owners. His artwork reveals the irresistible
charm, gentle nature and willingness to please that is
characteristic of these adorable canines.
John reveals the unconditional love that’s expressed
in the faces of these devoted companions. Through his
paintings,Weiss puts us in touch with our own emotions
and makes it easy for us to instantly and thoroughly enjoy
his art. Weiss, a self-taught artist, was influenced by
the realism and photographic quality that is found in
the work of Andrew Wyeth. However, unlike Wyeth’s
tendency to illustrate solitary and deserted landscapes,Weiss
portrays warmth, comfort and a sense of well-being. “The
relationship between a person and a dog is a familiar
experience for just about everyone,” says Weiss.“Life
can be rough sometimes, so if I can create something that
makes people feel better, then that’s what I’ll
do.”
