First class production
"I have been buying John's amazingly creative paintings for many, many years since they first caught my eye. The John Dyer book is a first class production, documenting not just some of the paintings from John's first fifty years but how he came to have the opportunities to paint in such a broad array of inspiring locations. What subject matter next, I wonder? One thing is for sure; it will be full of life and colour!"

It will certainly be a Forever Book
"I just open the pages and it is as if all the greyness of the day vanishes and I am immersed in summer sunshine, exotic locations and a riot of happiness and colour. It is also interesting to read how the life of an artist unfolds, about different projects and motivations and to have photographs of the family enjoying their art. I am also impressed by the quality of the book. Thank you to the team who brought this project to fruition, it will certainly be a Forever Book."

Amazing book, amazing artist
"I’ve been collecting John’s work for a few years and this retrospective is just the perfect accompaniment. It’s such a joy to thumb through his early years and see how his style has evolved, and to be able to glimpse the nirvana of his colourful gentle world. The book is huge, as is the smile on my face every time I open it, beautiful!"

★★★★★
"The rainbow colours and vibrant seaside scenes are uplifting, and trigger not only smiles, but also great joy, while the paintings of other magical environments - tropical rainforests, amazing gardens full of beautiful trees, flowers and animals, rice paddies, quirky towns and seascapes, deserts and wetlands - all teeming with life, colour, and detail, convey the artist’s love for ‘the colours of our world', and are a source of endless delight.There is so much to admire, wonder at, and enjoy in this lovely book. For sure we will be investing in one of John's glorious works very soon."
