In John’s words: "I love to paint portraits and chose musicians from my young adult years. As I age, loss and death of good friends is ever present. In this series, my choice of subject matter links my memories of good times and great friends to these music legends. Some are deceased and some are still performing. All of the work is painted in oil on canvas."

Peyton’s work reflects a deep appreciation for detail and texture. She combines fluid acrylic painting with doodles, creating art that is rich in layers and visual complexity. When she’s not creating, Peyton enjoys spending time with her two dogs and her husband, finding inspiration in the everyday moments of life.
The work is an exploration of texture, color, and the natural world, weaving together fluid acrylic paint with hand-drawn doodles. Paintings in layers, allowing each section to evolve organically, creating depth and complexity. The process of layering is integral to the work—it mirrors the complexity of life, where multiple elements, experiences, and emotions interact to form something uniquely beautiful.
