John Klopp, Painter
Fort Collins, Colorado
John is a self-taught artist, specializing in watercolor, oil and intaglio etching landscapes. Born and raised in Cedar Rapids and residing in the Mount Vernon area for a number of years, his subject matter comes from that surrounding landscape where he and his family once lived. He currently lives in Colorado.
“The landscapes I paint are of the kind I see every day. They are detailed and realistic. I try to convey a familiarity of place, enhanced by a quality of light, which comes only during the day’s transitions, the glow that foretells dusk and dawn.
I like to think my paintings remind us of a slower time – that capture and preserve fleeting memories – scenes in which you want to stroll over the hillside to enjoy the view from the other side.”
