Item #3, Donated by: John Matthew Moore, Value: $7,400 “What I have attempted to do with my works of large scale botanicals is to take the genre to a whole new level. By presenting these flowers individually, starkly yet lushly painted by the sensuousness of the medium, I hope to draw the viewer into their remarkable world.”

I n d u l g e Yo u r s e l f
With these words, internationally recognized artist JOHN MATTHEW MOORE explains his vision for his paintings, which are larger than life. His medium of choice is the velvety chalk-enriched watercolor known as gouache, with which he excels with his mastery of color and attention to detail. These opaque pigments enable him to achieve effects ranging from light shining through a dew drop-spotted white petal to the deep, dark, rich tones of his red tulips.

The winner of this auction item has the choice of either the featured item by John Matthew Moore, Tulipa, Flaming Parrot, OR a commission of the same size. This botanical painted in gouache on paper measures 48” x 53”, and the piece is framed as shown. For a commission, the winner will meet with Matthew either at his or her home or at Matthew’s studio in Georgetown. The commissioned piece includes the same frame, or a new frame may be chosen at the client’s expense at wholesale price. Though the inspiration for his works is drawn from 17th and 18th century botanical artists, Matthew’s own vision is evident. His paintings seem to explode off the page while maintaining their scientific integrity, resulting in a photo-realistic effect. In recent years, Matthew’s works have been increasingly garnering publicity and exposure and are included in many prominent international public and private collections due to representation in London, Beverly Hills, New York, Washington, DC, and Atlanta.
