--- “The Old Flames of Sorrow” S. John Crowley, January, 2024 Acrylic Gouache on Board | 8" x 10" In "The Old Flames of Sorrow," S. John Crowley masterfully captures the visage of an elder whose eyes have witnessed the unfolding tapestry of time. The emotive strokes and earthy palette resonate with the themes of remembrance and loss, as the poignant gaze of the subject seems to transcend the confines of the two dimensional. The vibrant yet somber hues suggest a lingering passion, akin to the lasting warmth of a fire's embers. This piece invites viewers to ponder the narratives etched into the lines of the subject's face, each a silent story of joy and grief intertwined. Crowley's work stands as a testament to the enduring human spirit, ever ablaze with the old flames of sorrow.

S. John Crowley: A Journey Through Art and Service From the crucible of early trials to the disciplined ranks of the U.S. Army, S. John Crowley’s life is a canvas of resilience and transformation. Orphaned at fourteen and later embracing the call of duty as an Armor Crewman during the Cold War, his four-year military service honed a spirit that would imbue his art with profound depth. Post-service, 1996 marked Crowley’s odyssey into the scenic arts in Hollywood, California, where under the mentorship of industry stalwarts like Frank Pera and Bill Anderson, he mastered his craft. At Walt Disney Imagineering, he painted dreams into reality, contributing to the enchanting worlds of the Disney Stores, the Disney Cruise Line, Tokyo Disney, and Tomorrow Land. His artistry further flourished at NBC’s “Passions” and the Oscars, showcasing his versatility and commitment to scenic excellence. Yet, the call of duty echoed again, and Crowley answered, serving with valor in Operation Iraqi Freedom earning a Combat Action Badge. It was an experience that intensified the narratives woven into his artworks. Now, amid the serenity of Phoenix, Crowley’s brush strokes are guided by the whispers of his journey, the stories of those he served with, and the muse that is his home and heart, shared with his wife and three cherished cats. His works, like “The Spirit of Solemn Pride,” resonate with the silent strength and vibrant legacy of the subjects he so passionately depicts.
