Winter Sun
There we were looking out over the bay at the low winter sun. The clouds were gone and after a beautiful day the sun was receding. This work on paper was painted ‘en plein aire’, which is not unusual in this part of Scotland. The composition of landscape and water is there for us to use, the weather and the colours change, so speed is essential part of the creative process.

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’.
