John Fawcett: Western Artist - Epi. 231, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

Some people are just meant to be artists. John Fawcett is one of those individuals. He has a great story and I had a wonderful time talking with him. 

You see, John was a veterinarian before becoming a full-time artist. He worked with small animals and big animals alike and loved horses since he was a kid, having bought his first horse at age ten. 

For a long while, John was committed to building a respected veterinary practice, but at his core, he was an artist. Finally, he got to the point where all that pent-up creativity couldn't be held back any longer. Fast-forward to today and he's been an artist longer than he was a vet. John took the plunge in 1992, painting and selling artwork when he could. Now he's a renowned watercolor and oil painter of the West, focusing primarily on Native American subjects, horses, and cowboys.

This was a really fun podcast. John is an interesting guy, and I've always been a fan of his work. Please enjoy Western Oil and watercolor painter John Fawcett on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast episode 231.

You can see John Fawcett's paintings at the Masters of the American West Art Exhibition and Sale at the Autry Museum of the American West through March 23, 2023.
