Less an online portfolio and more a general dumping ground of field sketching

"The tradition of Howard Brodie, Bill Maudlin, and Winslow Homer's stunning Civil War art for Harper's Weekly, is alive and well in the drawings of Richard Johnson."
JOSEPH L. GALLOWAY, Author of "We Were Soldiers Once … and Young"


"Johnson draws in the field, sparking an immediacy and freshness that traditional war illustrations lack . . . he never goes back to it to do the ‘prettying up’ that other artists do . . . he captures the everyday reality of life on the ground through his raw artistic approach".
JENNIFER LOCKE JONES, Smithsonian Museum of Armed Forces History
