25.01.2022 Can’t believe it’s been over a week since my dear school friend Tony Piccolo lost his battle with leukaemia. Tony was a big supporter of my arts practice and was the first person to commission me to paint a portrait. It seems fitting that he should be honoured in this way. A gift to his partner Grant Little.

24.01.2022 Tune in to ARTS FRIDAY, Eastside Radio, Friday 18 Sept where I will be talking to Claudia Chan Shaw about several creative projects that I have been working on during COVID. We will be discussing a series of @chatswoodchasesydney safety videos with a twist and my entry in this year’s Archibald Prize - a portrait of Claudia. 10:30am noon (I’m on at 10.45am) on Eastside Radio 89.7fm.

16.01.2022 I feel like we all could use a little sparkle in our lives at the moment. ‘Radiance’ was inspired by the beautiful illuminated floral displays that I saw at the @chasclarkson 125th birthday celebrations.

16.01.2022 With the exception of one or two varieties, camellias are all named after women. This one is called Jennifer Susan and I have painted her in an Art Deco malachite vase on a doily by my mum.

15.01.2022 I think Susie might be happy with her new surprise portrait. Thank you for your support of my art practice.

08.01.2022 Just finished painting ‘Molly’. I always feel a great deal of responsibility when commissioned to paint a memorial portrait. It has to be just right. What a gorgeous girl.

06.01.2022 Always love seeing my paintings in their new homes. This one was recently licensed to The Artists Label and turned into a scarf. Featuring a generous size, it can be worn as a sarong and is perfect for summer days at the beach. Click link to view it on my website. Only one available. https://www.johnklein.com.au/product/scarf-zinnias/134
