Vernon Jones

Vernon Jones is an artist living and working in South Wales.

'At this time, my focus is mainly on seascapes, with skies and landscapes also. It is a personal challenge be able to capture the sea, to create how it feels. Capturing one particular moment that will never come the same again is part of the magic that happens in painting such a subject. To paint impermanence into a permanent state requires control and freedom together. I have found that in creating something like the sea, it has to be felt as much as possible. Of course, there are techniques that help in its creation, as in other areas such as the sky, mountains, trees, these techniques can be born from finding a way to represent and feel the subject matter, to treat it in a manner which suits the form, which is why experimentation and observation are so very important in discovering ways of best approaching a certain subject. I was fortunate to have met a talented artist who gave me valuable criticism, advice and much assistance on works of this nature, how to tackle the sea and other subject matter, which I am grateful for and have taken on board while finding my own way in this area of painting."
