Fall 2010 The Fall issue of Western Pennsylvania History magazine, the publication of the John Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh, will include a short profile of Dan and Bonnie Sandman and their philanthropy with the History Center. In 2008, Dan & Bonnie commissioned the five foot Buxton painting -- "Washington At The Point - 1753 " -- with the idea that it will eventually belong to the Heinz History Center. |

| Recently John has given permission to three different authors of up coming history books, to use his paintings to illustrate passages in their books. Each book will use a different Buxton painting as the cover art for that book. These three will join a book by the Historical Publications section of the North Carolina Office of Archives & History, which will be using "A Glimpse Of Red" for their book titled Indian Wars in North Carolina 1663-1763. These are but a small few -- too many books to list, as well as numerous Historical sites that display John's paintings to better explain history visually to their visitors. | ||||

May 2010 John ventured to the far western corner of Virginia to attend an event at historic Martin's Station. It was his first visit to this site. Several other artists were there and some had set up displays of their work inside the visitor's center. This is a wonderful site with a reconstructed fort and great scenery. John managed to take numerous photographs that may be used to influence future paintings. He plans to attend again next year. |

2009 John did not take a sabbatical or anything, he just admittedly didn't update any info for 2009 on this section of the site. He did spend the year painting for shows as well as commissions, and traveled for research and inspiration for further paintings. He blames the lack of attention on updating the site, to his excitement in winning the 2009 Quest for the West show Patron's Choice Award for his painting, "Winter Windfall"! |
