This is a wonderful original painting. I recently acquired a small collection paintings by John Loughlin directly from the artist's estate. If you are interested in some of the other works I have by the artist besides the ones listed, check the Facebook page for Jonah Fine Art. I also have a couple watercolors for sale by the artist that I have had in my inventory for a while. A great chance to pick up some incredible works by the artist. For those not familiar with the artist, I have included his biography below. This might be one of the artist's finest works! Oil on artist's panel measuring 20 x 30 inches. Signed lower left. Artist's information verso. Really just a stunning painting. As painted condition. Painting is in beautiful linen lined frame. Frame measures 27 x 37 1/4 inches. If you collect Loughlin check my store for the others I am also selling. For those not familiar with the artist his biography from askart reads: "John Leo Loughlin - artist, teacher, lecturer, and illustrator - was born on April 11, 1931 in Worcester, MA and died on May 23, 2004 while residing in Lincoln, RI. Highly proficient in both oil and watercolor painting, and known for his fine drawing skills, he once said his preferred medium was watercolor. Well known for his New England scenes, Loughlin spent many hours painting outdoors with fellow artists and good friends Bernard Corey, who passed away in 2000, and Michael Graves. After serving in the Korean War, Loughlin earned a Bachelor of Arts degree and a General Excellence Award from the Worcester Art Museum School in 1957 and, in 1964, a Master of Education degree from Clark University in Worcester, MA. In the 1996 edition of the Artists of the Rockport Art Association, Loughlin said he had the good fortune to study with Eliot O'Hara, NA (1890-1969) and Edgar Whitney, ANA (1891-?). The first job he held was as an illustrator and cartographer with the National Geographic Society from 1958 to 1959. Later, from 1961 to 1968, he worked as an illustrator and department head with the United States Naval War College in Newport, RI. Loughlin's last position before becoming a full-time painter was as an art director at WSBE-TV in Providence, RI in 1968. At the same time he was teaching privately and with Providence College from 1970 to 1972. Some of the publications with Loughlin's illustrations include the National Geographic Society magazine, 1958; the Massachusetts Wildlife magazine, 1959; the Salt Water Sportsman magazine, 1959; the Naval Review; and the New England School Development Council Publication, 1967.
