Colouration

Colouration is central to Jon’s paintings, whether exploring the juxtaposition of hue or depth of colour. This changes depending on location. In Scotland, the day-to-day, and hour-by-hour changes in weather provided the opportunity to enhance an otherwise muted palette. Recent trips to India reinforced his ideas of vibrancy. The bright pinks, yellows and turquoise of the buildings and the richness of clothing changed his palette.
