Night Coast
Jon Rowland – Night Shore.
This is one of a series of paintings done ‘en plein air’ on a Scottish headland as the sun was setting. Each day different weather. Each day a different kind of dusk. Each day a different response. After a blustery day, white horses on the sea, anoraks on the hills, this dusk was a break in the clouds, wind, and what the Scots call ‘dreich’, to reveal a stunning sunset.

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.

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’.
