The Old Tibetan



The Greenhouse Gallery of Fine Art in San Antonio Texas has included my portrait "The Old Tibetan" in the highly anticipated upcoming Salon International Exhibition this Summer.



Created with a palette knife, the painting depicts the face of a refugee woman from Tibet who I met while in Kathmandu, Nepal.

My journey, which began in Northern India and led me to be granted permission to live with families on site in the Tibetan refugee settlements in Pokhara, Nepal, can be explored further at my website, JohnPaulThornton.com
