Vernon Jones

Vernon Jones (b. 1972) is from South Wales and divides his time between Wales and Macedonia. He studied Design and Wildlife Illustration from 1992 to 1994 but is largely self-taught as a painter in oils and acrylics. The sea, in all its moods, is his chosen subject. He has undoubted technical skill, but his paintings go beyond mere sterile photorealism. From a distance the waves look astonishingly realistic but close up you begin to notice the interesting brush strokes, subtle colour changes and textures.
