JOHN COSBY

AMERICIAN IMPRESSIONIST PAINTER

"While standing on location in a place I have never visited, I begin to recognize what is different about it from all the other places I have been. I try to capture that, the uniqueness," says Cosby.

As a painter Cosby travels extensively painting what he sees and feels.  Bold use of color and an energetic brush stroke combined with the truth of the place is what you will see and feel when viewing a painting by Cosby.

Known for his bold use of color and an energetic brush stroke, Cosby travels extensively painting what he sees and feels. Among the many places he has captured, his California landscapes are especially notable in his body of work over 30 years. He is represented by some of the finest galleries and was a founding board member of the prestigious “Laguna Plein-air Painters Association,” a Signature member of both Plein-air Painters of America and The California Art Club. Cosby has served as an officer of these groups to help further the cause of Art. He was also a founder of the Laguna Beach Plein-air Painting Invitational that was held at the Laguna Art Museum and is now in its 25th year.
