Blenheim – View over the Lake 1
I was one of six artists who was chosen to be part of an exhibition on Capability Brown at Blenheim Palace to be held February to May 2016. The exhibition concentrates on the artistic interpretation of the landscape from various key locations and the juxtaposition of these contemporary views with those of Turner, Piper, Radclyffe, Cozens, and other famous artists. This is one of a series of small sketch paintings produced for the exhibition.

Places and Spaces
A number of locations have influenced ideas on abstraction. Many pictures are painted ‘en plein air’, whether in Cuba, Provence, Devon, or the Scottish Coast - where the environment continually changes. In some cases he explores space, light, and colour. Hot sands in high summer, winter rains at high tide, peaty streams as the snow melts are part of this theme. Painting at the edge of water requires the ability to capture the essence of the moment before it’s lost. He draws on influences from both west coast America and the new English landscape scene.

The Artist
Jon Rowland
Jon draws on locations that have played a part in his ‘artistic journey’, exploring space, light and colour, and it is this juxtaposition. He manipulates emerging abstraction to express the essence of a particular ‘place’.
