Painting by Professor John Randolph – my mentor and friend. He not only 
taught art and painting but he and his wife Erminie Randolph taught life to the Phillips… University students. He was painting on this painting my Senior year at Phillips. He even let me paint some of the grass with a piece of cardboard. He was kind he let me purchase the painting for $75.
Born in Ada, Oklahoma, John Randolph earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts from the University of Oklahoma. He also studied at Shrivenham Army College in England and the University of Oregon. Upon graduation in 1948, Randolph joined the art department of Phillips University where served as a professor and Chairperson of the department, serving the university for more than four decades.
Randolph has exhibited his work across the region. His work was included in one-person and group exhibitions at such places as the Philbrook Art Museum, Wichita Art Museum, Springfield Art Museum, Dallas Museum of Art, and the Chicago Museum of Fine Art.
In 1986, Phillips University hosted a retrospective of his work.
