About the Artist: "John Runne has been painting professionally for the past 21 years. Having enjoyed a very successful corporate career across multiple industries, he uses his experiences to bring a unique and humorous twist to his imagery and use of bold native colors. His whimsical approach to many western scenes, very colorful perspectives of southwestern missions and strong approach to American flag abstracts have won him national and international acclaim. In addition to creating hundreds of original works, he has also produced numerous off-set lithographs of his images as well as published several books, Par 2 and Coyote Christmas with multi-Emmy and Peabody awards winning producer and writer, Tom Robertson. Runne's commercial art activities are balanced with a deep commitment to assist charitable organizations and events. He creates and paints in the mountains of Colorado.
