Welcome to the world of John Earl Entrekin

I, John Entrekin, (also known as John Earl) have been a professional painter most of my life.  This site shows my current and some of my past works.  I am a figure painter and portraitist, as well as doing abstracts in a style I have developed over the past several years.  Take the time to wander through the different galleries to see the work and read over the other material to learn more about my work and me.  You can purchase paintings and prints on line through the secure shopping system.  If you have questions about any of the work please use the contact John Entrekin form to communicate directly with me.  Enjoy.

Below is a scrolling gallery of some of the paintings by John Entrekin.  Mouse over any image to stop the scroll and click to see a larger image and details.

Please look at the navigation bar and take some time to go to the various galleries and other features to learn more about my work. Much of my work now is of the female form, much as nudes or semi-nudes. My work with models and painting them in my nude paintings in oils, pastels and watercolors has been my life's dream.  I have always felt the female form or body of a woman is, for me, the most beautiful thing I can image.  I hope my work will always show the respect due a woman, any woman, and even the nudes  are a tribute to their beauty and not anything less.  The stories of the paintings and of my life are connected to my feelings for my models and for beauty.  I do hope you will take the time to view the paintings in the galleries and/or read the stories of my hopelessly romantic attitude toward life.  Painting has always been a part of my life and now, painting beautiful women, I feel I have the best job, (if you can call it a job) of anyone I know.
