Painting of Pretty Place by John Neil

Here is a lovely painting of Pretty Place by John Neil of Greenville, SC. John is a self-taught artist who comes from two amazing grandparents that were accomplished painters themselves. He originally delved into oils but was inspired by his mother-in-law to do landscapes with watercolor and has not left this medium.

As a realtor, he will often give an original painting to his client for the home they have just purchased. John has taken quite a few trips to Camp Greenville and Pretty Place with the 6th grade Confirmation class at BSUMC. They have a Sunday worship service there each time, and often times, that is when his inspiration comes.

If you would like John to create a painting for you, you can contact him at:
