About The Artwork
I was recently humbled when I met two French heroes from WWII who live near me. They were arrested as ‘terrorists’ by the Nazis during the Occupation and sent to Belsen and Dachau where they witnessed the most appauling atrocities ever committed. But they survived and returned to France after the war. They were both awarded the Legion d’honneur which I’ve included with each portrait. They are in their eighties and nineties now, but both in good health. After speaking to them I was so impressed that I took their pictures and painted their portraits from the photographs. The paintings are now in a local Resisatnce museum. They are therefore not for sale, but are included here to show what can be done from a photograph.

France
Bonjour. I'm Ray Johnstone, and I live in a small medieval village in south west France. I spend most of my time painting, writing and teaching art, but I still find time to play petanque most afternoons (the game they play with iron balls all over France). I firmly believe that everyone - yes, everyone - can learn to paint and draw, and I teach children and adults, as well as individuals, families and groups. (For more information about art holidays, simply cut and paste the following: ’Ray Johnstone France’). If you’d like a quote on any painting you might like to think about commissioning me to do, please email me the details. (Please keep in mind that I can paint almost any subject FROM A PHOTOGRAPH). I’ll get back to you right away.
