Jon makes small, rapidly executed, oil and pencil sketches on location to capture the essence of a scene. The material gathered out in the landscape, is used to feed back into his studio paintings. But sometimes, a work will be painted solely on location or “Plein air” as this type of painting is referred too. Jon will also paint Still Life and Flowers as an interlude to landscape painting.
Jon was Awarded Best “Plein Air painting” at the 2017 Fresh Paint Competition held by Picton Castle Studio’s and Fine Art Commissions London. Jon’s work is held in private collections worldwide and at the National Library of Wales
