    This second season is still great television. You never know what exactly to expect from this show but you will always find great stories told by a master story teller.

    It's possibly a failing of mine that I continue to watch as nothing happens of any consequence. But I'd be an even more ardent fan if the show was looking over his shoulder watching him paint and listening to one of his stories from the past. All we have to see is his hand and hear the words.

    There’s a sense of artistic exploration in “Painting with John” that’s so delightful. You never know exactly where it’s going next. ... Not everything works, but that doesn’t matter. The roughness around the edges is part of the charm, especially in an era of such overly polished, manufactured television.

    Painting With John is just very calming. Its pitch rarely rises above a murmur; and because there’s no pressure to figure out exactly why Lurie and Mockus include what they do, viewers can relax and let all the pretty pictures and odd sounds wash over them, carrying them wherever they may.
