Well hi again! This week I thought I’d share a detail from another painting that’s still available (can you even believe it!?).
This one is at @revolutiongallery and it’s from a show just last year.
I invite you, through the magic of the internet, to scroll across, and find the preliminary sketch and the painting itself!
And please do make sure you visit Revolution Gallery!!
Now, with all that being said, this painting is titled: Carousel, it’s 14”x16” oil on panel, and in a lovely vintage frame that I think really adds to its atmosphere - AND, can be yours by visiting revolutionartgallery.com!

Well hello! What’s this? Why, it’s a detail from a painting that’s still available at @brassworksgallery from a show a little while back. And, if you scroll across, you’ll find the preliminary sketch and the painting itself!
I’ve been working on other projects lately and haven’t been posting with any regularity, and I do like to be regular, and the internet likes to be fed from time to time as well, so here we are!!
Now, as to this lovely urban tableau: it’s titled Uptown Stroll, it’s 12”x16” oil on panel, and can be yours by visiting brassworksgallery.com.

My contribution to the @misterzozo@misterzozoandfriends traveling sketchbook.
And thanks to @nathalietierce for the invite!
A little bit of mixed media sketchbook fun made for a nice distraction. 😎
(graphite, acrylic, ink, color pencil, marker, and gouache)
And onward it goes....
Looking forward to more work by @johnsauerart in 2026!
“My hope is to capture some of the emotional and psychological aspects of modern life through narrative, with a dash of lowbrow pop culture and a pinch of mystery, so that viewers who are drawn to the work might find a connection and personal meaning in it.
My background in illustration, going back to the mid 1990’s, instilled a great sense of freedom to approach painting via a broad range of themes and interests.
I have a great love for painting, and I’m really just bringing every bit of myself to the work.“ - @johnsauerart
I have a few new small paintings available at @strangerfactory as part of the Winter Salon group show. They’re among the work of a wonderful group of artists! AND, original art makes a lovely gift!! 😉
So, whatcha waitin’ for?! Take a look! —>
