Using a monochromatic palette of sepia hues, the artist says he strives to reproduce the places that inspire him. Johnson\u2019s work is strongly evocative of the French Impressionists\u2019 depictions of city life, interior spaces, and equestrian scenes. From Gustave Caillebotte\u2019s steely, atmospheric renderings of foggy Paris streets and dusky rooftops to Degas\u2019 spindly-legged racehorses, the influence of these artists upon Johnson\u2019s painting is readily visible.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well there you have it&#8230; maybe I&#8217;ll pack for both, and then see where 2015 takes me!
