Artist John Newsom in his studio.

I've always been extremely interested in how artists create. But, it's intimidating to prepare yourself to capture portraits of such talent. Or so I thought. Working with John was such a pleasure because of the collaborative effort. I spent the evening with him as he worked on one of his pieces. Starting from a blank canvas. It was amazing to see something so beautiful start to form before me. Just the energy, spurts of laughter, joy, anger, and determination. Thanks John.
