John W Smith - aka "Jay Dubya

I am a local artist, member of Ashby Art Club and have lived in Ashby De La Zouch for over thirty years, I paint mainly in acrylic but I keep an open mind and am always ready for a new challenge and a new medium. I paint in a contemporary style but I believe that realism still has a place in today’s art.  My subject matter is whatever interests me; I enjoy painting portrait, landscape or still life. 

Why ‘Jay Dubya’ ? Exhibiting at a gallery with two other ‘John Smith’s' led to some confusion! Jay Dubya is a play on my Christian name’s initials John William…J.W…Jay Dubya

I could have been Will.i.am but someone beat me to it !
