For the months of September and October 2024, Patti’s Thunder Cafe is exhibiting a show by local artists
~James Johnson~
Johnson has a background in fine arts that began at San Jose State University where he received his bachelor of arts in printmaking. He started painting about 15 to 20 years ago when his travels brought him to Plumas County.
It is here that his focus turned to landscape painting, particularly in the plein air style. Inspired by the gorgeous landscapes and tumbling waters of the area he has made waterscapes and river setups his forte. He said he enjoys plein air landscapes because painting them allows him to be outdoors and enjoy the beautiful world we live in.
“I love places with lot of water. The fact that we are living in the headwaters of the Feather River makes it critical that we pay attention that we live in a special space.” Johnson said he paints with hopes that his art affects people’s emotions. What drives him to keep painting is the sanity that comes with it, and the mental and emotional release it offers him.
Patti's Thunder Cafe is located at 557 Lawrence St, Quincy, CA and can be reached at (530) 283-3300. Check their Facebook page for current hours: https://www.facebook.com/PattisThunderCafe/
