View John L. Mendoza Paintings
The work of John L. Mendoza is a diary of the man and his view of life.
His watercolors bespeak romance, nostalgia, and natural beauty. Many of his
paintings display dual characteristics. They are gentle yet passionate, simple yet
detailed, bold yet subtle and concrete yet abstract.
When he paints his best work, the painting magically communicates with him, almost
dictating what should be put on paper.
His ability to think freely, confidently and intuitively allows him to create a Mendoza
world, bursting with avalanches of color, which build wildly romantic and emotional
feelings, creating a universal and aesthetic appeal. Vertical and horizontal thrusts
that dominate his work sweep downward from the basic motif in a wash that is essential to
the painting as a whole.
This is the signature that is unmistakably the work of John L. Mendoza.
John resides in Pueblo, Colorado, with his wife, artist Dorothy
Mendoza.
