John Phillip Osborne (b. 1951-)
John P. Osborne is a noted art instructor and impressionist painter known for his
interpretation of natural light. Born in 1951 in Wycoff, New Jersey, He is a fine arts
graduate of the Pratt Institute with additional study under Alban Albert and Arthur
Maynard at the Art Students League in New York City. Studying independently the
works of masters such as George Inness, John Constable and the French Barbizon
painters gave him a foundation for landscape painting. Osborne is a painter of the
American landscape “en plein aire.” Placing an emphasis on how objects in nature are seen in various degrees of sunlight, Osborne works with oil paint to achieve light and
shadow effects as they are seen in locations including the Hudson River Valley, New
Jersey, New England, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, and in Europe. His paintings
are intended to convey a direct impression of the natural environment in all its
mysterious, atmospheric moods. “I arrange the colors of my palette prismatically and
strive to get the prism under control with the subtle atmospheric progression of colors
and values.”
