John David Phillips was born in Roswell, New Mexico in 1955. His first memories are of the open vistas and changing skies of the American Southwest. John began painting at the age of eight, inspired to capture on canvas his impressions of natural beauty wherever he lived; in the Southwest, California, Australia, Texas, and Asia. He now lives in western Colorado at the foot of the Colorado National Monument, painting both in-studio and en plein air.
The paintings of Colorado artist John David Phillips show an overriding concern for conveying the mood of a scene. He has a unique approach to lighting, composition and perspective.”
