IN THE John Nelson's ARTS Pencil Pictures! Seldom does success In the art world come to one so young. The usual pattern Is fame after death. But John Nelson's talents cannot be Ignored. In 1983 this 32-year-old artist was selected from thousands of candidates for a coveted White House show ing, which was critically ac claimed. This was followed by a MacDonald Corporation con tract to provide poster art for a nationwide In-store promotion - - a rare break for an artist at any age, because It means instant fame and recognition. Where did this genius with pehcll, char coal, and pen and ink find the .fralning to propel himself to the ;very cutting edge of American • artists so quicldy? From him- Iselil Yes, John Nelson is complete- ,'ly self-taught, as were Charles White, Fletcher Martin and John ■James Audubon. His style is ■ marked by extremely detailed !renderlngs that capture moods and emotions most other por trait artists can only hope to im- ,itate. His natural talents give him the ability to bring out a ^epth and warmth that have en chanted critics and art fans alike. His portraits project a ■three-dimensional effect that ■you simply have to see to be- Jieve. How fortunate for us that his ;talents were recognized in the very early stages of his expand ing career. John Nelson today is poised to become one of Amerl- ha's most popular and prolific artists. And he did it the hard way - he earned it.
