Born in Rovigno, D'Istria, Italy, John moved to California at the age of 11, where he went to college, and continues to live today. After several years as a commercial artist and freelance illustrator, John Budicin took the opportunity to pursue his dream of becoming a plein air artist when his employer moved out of state. John loves to paint directly from nature so he paints outdoors almost every day. He paints many of his paintings close to his home in San Bernardino, California.
John Budicin received his art education from noted artists Ray Vinella, Michael Lynch, Len Chmiel and Sergei Bongart. His paintings have achieved numerous top awards from esteemed art competitions, including first place at the California Art Club’s 87th Annual Gold Medal Juried Exhibition. In 2002, the renowned California Club in Los Angeles selected one of his paintings for its permanent collection. Budicin has been featured in several articles published by national magazines, including Southwest Art, Art of the West, American Artist and International Artist. His paintings are also featured in the book 200 Great Painting Ideas for Artists. He teaches several workshops each year in such places as the Scottsdale Artists’ School in Arizona; Fredericksburg Artists School in Texas; Fechin Art Institute in New Mexico; and the Plein Air Painters of America’s workshops in Vermont. In 1999, he conducted the first overseas workshop in Tuscany and Umbria, Italy sponsored by the California Art Academy and Museum, an affiliate of the California Art Club.
John Budicin is a Signature Member and past president of Plein Air Painters of America, as well as a Signature Member of Oil Painters of America, and Laguna Plein Air Painters Association. He is a Signature Artist Member of the California Art Club.

"VALLEY OF THE MONUMENTS" NAVAJO ARIZONA / UTAH HERDERS
By Marjorie Reed
Located in San Antonio, TX
Marjorie Reed a.k.a. Harvey Day (1915-1996) California, Arizona Artist Size: 18 x 24 Frame: 23.25 x 29.25 Medium: Oil on Canvas "Valley of the Monuments" Marjorie Reed Biography Biography Marjorie Reed a.k.a. Harvey Day (1915-1996) Born in Springfield, Illinois and raised in Los Angeles, Marjorie Reed gained a reputation for paintings of western scenes, particularly Butterfield Overland Stagecoaches and other scenes of cowboys, horses and figures associated with the Overland Mail Route. Sometimes she signed her paintings with men's names including Harvey Day and Fred Day. At age three, she began art lessons from her father, Walter Stephen Reed, a commercial artist, whom she later assisted in the designing of Christmas cards and with illustrations for the Mickey Mouse Beverage Company, affiliated with Walt Disney. In fact, she was so accomplished that shortly after, she was hired by Walt Disney Studios to do animation. But she did not like the regimentation of that work. In the mid-1930s, she studied at the Chouinard Art School and took lessons from Jack Wilkinson Smith, a renowned landscape painter who was a key artist in establishing the Biltmore Salon in Los Angeles. Knowing her love of the outdoors and horses, he encouraged her to roam the countryside. She became a friend of Captain William Banning who had been a stagecoach driver for his father Phineas Banning. She learned the romantic story of the Butterfield Overland Mail Stage, which, from 1857 to 1858, ran from San Francisco to the Yuma crossing on the Colorado River. In her Model-T Ford with her Alaskan Husky dog, she, based in Los Angeles from the late 1930s to late 1940s, traveled the stage-coach route and sketched for the paintings of her project to learn about and sketch various points along the route. Her travels included Palm Springs, which she visited many times after her first stop in 1937, and she also spent time in Julian, a California mountain town. Her "Butterfield Stage" series, about the 1858 Butterfield Overland Stage from St. Louis to San Francisco were completed in 1957 after years of travel and research, and a book titled The Colorful Overland Stage was published with twenty of her color reproductions and text by Richard Pourade. In 1967, she finished a second set of Overland Stage illustrations focused on Arizona. A third set was then devoted to New Mexico and Texas and a fourth set to Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri. In her later years, she and her fourth husband, Cecil Creese, a miner, became residents of Tombstone, Arizona in 1963 after living in northern California on the Placer River. According to her daughter, Judy Morris, Marjorie Reed died in 1997, living in the desert near the Butterfield Stage Station in California. Exhibition venues included the Biltmore Salon and Ebell Salon in Los Angeles, the Heard Museum in Phoenix, the Desert Inn Gallery in Palm Springs, and the Palm Desert Art...
