John was also recently inducted into the Delbarton School of Honors and he has reached the level of Copley Master from the Copely Society of Boston. John is a skilled painter of every genre:landscape, still life and portraiture. His unique blend of realism and atmospheric impressionism set his work apart. Many people can recognize a "Traynor Painting" by it's brushstrokes and unique feeling. Part of his success is connecting emotionally with others through his work. People are often reminded of moments in their life or memories of the past. His use of light and atmospheric effect are found in many of the Old Master paintings, such as the American Tonality painters and the French Impressionist artists. There is a richness and fullness to his work that is "old world" yet contemporary with his unique style.
