John Fawcett: Western Artist - Epi. 231, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

Some people are just meant to be artists. John Fawcett is one of those individuals. He has a great story and I had a wonderful time talking with him. You see, John was a veterinarian before becoming a full-time artist. He worked with small animals and big animals alike and loved horses since he was a kid, having bought his first horse at age ten. For a long while, John was committed to building a respected veterinary practice, but at his core, he was an artist. Finally, he got to the point where all that pent-up creativity couldn't be held back any longer. Fast-forward to today and he's been an artist longer than he was a vet. John took the plunge in 1992, painting and selling artwork when he could. Now he's a renowned watercolor and oil painter of the West, focusing primarily on Native American subjects, horses, and cowboys.This was a really fun podcast. John is an interesting guy, and I've always been a fan of his work.
