John Maykulsky: 1947 – 2021 John Maykulsky (John Skeez to the art world) was an exceptionally talented, imaginative, award-winning artist who moved to Four Seasons in 2009. He passed away in February 2021 due to complications from COVID-19. He is missed by many family members and friends. John was born in Upstate New York. He drove across the country in 1971 with a couple friends in a VW minibus, landing in Southern California just in time to experience the 1971 San Fernando earthquake, never returning to New York except for vacations. He earned five college degrees. In the early 1970s, John began taking drawing, commercial design and photography classes, culminating in artwork in Conte' Crayon, pastels, pencil, ink, three-dimensional collage, and photography as well as Marshall Oils, later concentrating particularly in acrylic medium. John started painting and taking painting classes in the early 1980s. John's art included abstract subjects, out-of-this-world florals, seascapes and sea life, as well as paintings of four-legged friends, and murals. He received many awards for his artwork. John pursued his lifetime passion for art shortly after retirement from his career as a real estate appraiser. He spent a lot of time painting in the Art Room at The Lodge in Four Seasons. He especially enjoyed being creative with acrylic painting and mixed media art. John was active in our community, teaching how to make frames for paintings, creating signs for the art shows, as well as participating in art shows here at Four Seasons. A good portion of John's art can be viewed at www. JohnSkeez.com (more photos will be added in the upcoming weeks, so please bookmark this website).
