John Lintott graduated from Colorado State University with a bachelor of fine arts degree with a concentration in painting. Lintott’s primary interest is the outdoors: “My love for the outdoors began when I was a child. My father took my three older brothers and me on camping trips in the wilderness as often as he could.” As a landscape painter, Lintott feels as if his interest in the outdoors has grown exponentially. “I notice things that I never would have looked at as a child, and it seems the world has gotten that much bigger. Painting in the outdoors allows me to try and encapsulate the love I have for what I have come to take in, and translate that love into something believable, convincing, and emotional. To view the beauty of the world around me and try to communicate my impression of the experience is the ultimate struggle,” Lintott says. Lintott is the president of the board of directors of the Plein Air Painters of America. He and his wife, Emily, are proud parents of three daughters, and he works out of his studio in Grand Junction, Colorado.
