Artist in Residence
Dundee artist John Stoa runs his Original Art Studio from the breakfast room which also shows his latest art exhibition of new paintings.
John
paints in acrylic, oils, watercolour and pastels with a wide range of subjects but he specialises in snow scenes and figurative studies including nudes. 
There is a permanent art exhibition (about 50) of his paintings hanging on the walls, and he is constantly changing the exhibition as new paintings are created.
Visitors are also welcome to view his latest works as they are being painted, or just off the easel and stored in his studio awaiting to be framed before going out on exhibition to several Scottish galleries.

Art Exhibition
Broughty Ferry Beach and Castle was the main focus of John Stoa's summer 2007 art exhibition which was held here in the Scottish Artist Studio.
There were many pastel and acrylic paintings showing the River Tay and beaches with large expanses of colourful dramatic skies all on large stretched box canvas.
Flowers, figures and Scottish landscapes were also shown. Currently John
is painting tonal figure studies of his mature model.

Original Art Website
John has his own website www.johnstoa.com which has now grown quite large
.
It started off as a shop window to display his original paintings of Scottish art and limited edition prints of Edinburgh and other towns in Scotland, but slowly grew larger as he painted more images. Then he decided to give some pages to all his art class students and every year there are more students. Extra pages were then needed for information on his art classes and workshops, pages for his latest art exhibitions, pages for information on art commissions, and of course a contact page, a bibliography page, a "How to Buy" page, site map, and links pages.
Figures and nudes are now John's latest painting project and some of these can be found on this page of figure painting.
The Garden Paintings
John paints a fair number of flowers most of which he grows in the large mature garden maintained and developed by himself and Anna who both love gardening.
It seemed logical to share the beauty of the garden with other garden lovers on the internet, so more pages were created for all the different types of plants grown.
These garden pages, now growing at a fast pace can be seen on this link to Anna's Scottish garden.
Last year John and Anna rented a garden allotment at the City Road Allotment Site in Dundee to grow vegetables, fruit and cut flower for the house. 
However, it was not long before John realised the potential for paintings within this site of dilapidated fences, semi derelict sheds, greenhouses and other structures and all tended with passion and loving care as an oasis of heaven within a built up urban environment.
These allotment paintings have now been added to the website as the latest venture.
These and all the other pages can be seen on John Stoa's website at www.johnstoa.com
