Woodcock Hunting, 1936
signed and dated "John Frost '36" lower right
oil on canvas, 25 by 30 in.
John Frost, called Jack, was born to noted sporting artist A.B. Frost in Philadelphia in 1890. The younger Frost studied art with his father and at the Academie Julian before settling in Pasadena, California, for health reasons. He found success with his impressionistic California landscapes, selling through the Stendahl Gallery at the Ambassador Hotel. In addition to his California Impressionist success, Frost depicted the sporting life in paint throughout his career. He continued to hunt and paint with his father and fellow artist Guy Rose. Frost became a member of the California Art Club and the Pasadena Society of Fine Arts before succumbing to an early death in 1937.
