John Di Crescenzo \r\n \r\nWatercolour Artists \r\n \r\nBorn in Guardiagrele, Italy in 1944, John\'s love of art developed from an early age. The close association with his country helped develop a strong affinity for the local landscapes. John studied art at the Chieti Art Institude, Abruzzi, Italy. He has concentrated his artistic talent exclusively in watercolour paintings and John\'s subject matter is today dominated by the influences of European landscapes most notably Tuscan and Venetian scenes. In recent years John has been the recipient of numerous awards and conducts watercolour classes. \r\n \r\nAwards \r\n \r\nCarlton Exhibition 1997 First Prize Parade College 2008 First Prize St Kevin\'s Art Show 2009 First Prize Melton Art Festival 2008-2009 First Prize Kilmore Art Expo 2010 Best Watercolour Amberley Art Show 2010 Best Watercolour Royal Melbourne Show 2011 Best Watercolour Royal Melbourne Show 2011 Best Overall Exhibit Royal Melbourne Show 1996 Second Prize Royal Melbourne Show 1998 Second Prize Loyola College 2004 Second Prize Royal Melbourne Show 2004 Third Prize Royal Melbourne Show 2005 Third Prize St Kevins Art Show 2011 Highly Commended Parade College 2004 Highly Commended Parade College 2006 Highly Commended Loyola College 1998 Highly Commended Loyola College 2006 Highly Commended |
