An Introduction from John
Hi there and welcome to my gallery. My name is John Trowsdale, I'm a 64 year old Englishman, living in Manchester UK. An independent artist, creating mainly oil paintings of landscapes and seascapes from around the United Kingdom, and a few more from beyond. My paintings are inspired by my personal experiences of the world as I interpret them. I love the process of painting in detail, bringing a blank panel to life with layers of vibrant colour. Each painting here is created over a period of weeks, one painting at a time, no wild brush strokes here, or splatters of paint thrown down randomly. But precise brush strokes, deliberate marking, building values and depth into each artwork. Probably a reflection of my personality. Neat and colour accurate, hoping the end result will evoke memories of familiar places, or a deep connection in some way with the viewer.
I've received recognition in 'Artshow International' as a runner up. Solo exhibitions in Northern England and exhibited in galleries including Saul Hey, D31 and The Mall Gallery, London with the Royal Society of British Artists
I do hope you enjoy your experience in the gallery, and please get in touch if you would like more information on any of the paintings here for sale.

Royal Society of British Artists Annual Exhibition 2024
29th February - 9th March
I was really pleased to have one of my paintings 'Reflections' selected for the prestigious RBA 2024 annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London and delighted the oil painting sold on the preveiw evening.
Cotton on Manchester Exhibition
I was delighted to hear that 2 of my paintings made the shortlist of 65 out of the 189 submitted to be displayed at the 'Cotton on M'cr' Landscape Exhibition at the Saul Hay Gallery, Manchester.
D31 Gallery Summer Exhibition
Having missed the artist launch party while in Rhodes, it was great to get the opportunity to see the gallery set up for the exhibition at first hand at the public launch.
Meeting Chinwe Russell, Laura Lee and the rest of the gallery team was inspiring, not to mention having some very interesting conversations with talented and diverse artists like London based Ekaterina Adelskaya. Three of my works were on display during the exhibition in Doncaster. Both of the original paintings seen in the photo have now sold.
The news is......I made the news
Award winning painting
I was delighted to come runner up in the
'Art show International' Landscape competition for 'Samuel's Mill' Although once a little sceptical of art competitions as being subjective, I think my attitude might be changing towards them as I have started to believe it helps to build self confidence as an artist
My Grandad loved your print. I gave it him today after getting it framed for Father's Day. He cried. He was made up. So thank you for creating such a special painting.
Now that's service for you! Got it, it's lovely, thanks so much.
