Ridgewood NJ, The Ridgewood Art Institute, a prominent player in the perpetuation of Classical Realism today is proud to host an oil painting demonstration by esteemed painter and instructor, John C. Traynor.

Traynor has won numerous awards, including the Frank Dumond Award from the Hudson Valley Art Association and the Medal of Honor from the Salamagundi Club, of which he is an honorary member. John was also recently inducted into the Delbarton School of Honors and he has reached the level of Copley Master from the Copely Society of Boston. John is a skilled painter of every genre: landscape, still life and portraiture.

His unique blend of realism and atmospheric impressionism sets his work apart. Many people can recognize a “Traynor Painting” by it’s brushstrokes and unique feeling. Part of his success is connecting emotionally with others through his work. People are often reminded of moments in their life or memories of the past. His use of light and atmospheric effect is found in many of the Old Master paintings, such as the American Tonality painters and the French Impressionist artists. There is a richness and fullness to his work that is “old world” yet contemporary with his unique style.

Please don’t miss this rare opportunity to observe the creative process at work. This free event is worthwhile to both artists and art enthusiasts. All are welcome.
