Originally from New York City, John Daniel Neubauer is a long-time resident of the Hudson Valley, and the natural beauty of the area is captured in many of his oil paintings, drawings and etchings.

Neubauer began his study painting landscapes under the tutelage of Donald Jurney. He subsequently studied at the Art Students League in New York, receiving training in life drawing from the late Robert Beverly Hale and instruction in still life from David Leffel. After some classical training, he began an exhaustive study of landscape painting working directly from nature throughout the northeastern United States and in Italy.

The realistic tradition of the Hudson River School and French Barbizon School is apparent in Neubauer’s work. Although a number of his landscapes are highly representational, the majority are impressions and transformations of nature inspired by memory and imagination. Much of his work captures the feeling of the rural Northeast, taking on a filmy and dreamlike quality.

The 2000 season marks John’s third consecutive show at the Blue Heron Gallery.
