My full name is John Earl Entrekin, (sometimes known as John Earl) I've always been interested in painting and never far from an easel, I took painting as a full time career in 1980. Starting with New England style watercolors and later egg tempera then moved to oils and started to work with figure painting.
I have always been fascinated with the styles and techniques of the old masters. painting style reflects this both in his portraits and other figure work. I also work in what might be called a completely different style of what I call my swirly paintings. These are abstracts done in oils with an undulating movement to the lines that allow the viewer to create his or her own interpretation. Some of my other work is a bit between the abstract and the more traditional realism.
