For many years, before moving to America twenty-two years ago, and becoming world renowned for his wildlife paintings, Seerey-Lester was one of Europe's leading figurative, nostalgic artists and painters of portraits.

Parallel to his wildlife art, John has continued to paint portraits, townscapes and figurative scenes. He also still enjoys capturing the nostalgia of bygone eras. These pages are devoted to his more recent painting in this vein.
