John Cook
"The Discussion", John Cook, Oil on Canvas, Impressionism, Western, Cowboy

2019

About the Item

"The Discussion" is an original oil on canvas and measures 48x36 inches. This western painting reflects an impressionistic view of two cowboys having a discussion while seemingly playing poker. A women in a saloon style dress sits in the lap of one of the men as she smiles at a man on her left. The group appears to be in a western styled room as they sit in wooden chairs, surrounded by wooden style floors and cabinets. By drawing with a brush rather than a pencil, Cook achieves the loose and free style that characterizes his work. Never belabored, each painting reflects his passion to catch a mood with interplay of light and shade. Nothing is too large or small to attempt, as reflected in his diverse range of subject matter: from still life to portraits to landscapes, architecture and native Texas-Western imagery. “A kind of impatient realism,” is how Cook describes his paintings. Action and energy permeate his canvases and there is a spontaneous nature to his work that retells the artist’s need to quickly achieve the essence of light as it dances, pierces, careens, and bounces to find its way throughout the subject. Cook states, “as for my style, if I could do a painting in less than sixty seconds I would be pleased. Sometimes I feel the urgency to attack a canvas and capture the intensity of my mind and emotions without respecting the necessary effort for the image to be valued as ‘fine art.’” Trips to London, Paris, San Francisco and Belgium also produced many of Cook’s paintings.
