John's Inspiration

Unyielding Pursuit captures that moment of pure focus—when instinct takes over, and there’s no hesitation. I’ve always admired the American Kestrel for its precision and determination. It knows what it wants and goes after it with everything it has.

As I painted this piece, I found myself thinking about the pursuit of dreams—the kind that require patience, resilience, and the courage to commit fully. This kestrel is a reminder to trust the process, take the leap, and go after what truly matters—without fear, without doubt, and without looking back.
