John Jarrett paints in a precise and loving manner, depicting Ottawa's vintage neighbourhoods. Having lived most of his life in Ottawa, John's fondness for the city and its environs is reflected in his paintings. "Making pictures is endlessly challenging," he says. "It is a process of problem solving, where the rules are somewhat elusive. Then there comes a moment of magic when the problems evaporate and everything comes together on the canvas."
