About George
George H. Jones began his career as an artist at a very early age with graphite renderings and painting in watercolors but soon progressed to oils, a medium he has adopted for the last 25 years. Jones, a Texas native and longtime Dallas resident, is one of a limited number of established artists whose body of work captivates the attention of private and public collectors across the country. Working in large format, Jones’ paintings invoke eccentricity through the use of impressionist shapes and color.
Style: Abstract Palette Knife
Bold, vibrant and whimsical are a few words that describe Jones’ wet on wet abstract works. You see it in the layer upon layer of generous paint applied in colors and hues that create mystery and leave much to the imagination of the viewer. Hues, such as dark russet and midnight blue, contribute to an ambiance that is decidedly mysterious.
Style: True-to-Life Brushworks
For these works, George uses brush strokes that provide more detail to the paintings’ subjects and yields a softer and more realistic feel.
Art Subjects | Not surprisingly Jones paints Texas longhorns in a style that is his alone. But his subjects are many and varied–floral, landscapes, domestic animals, African wildlife, cattle–nothing is beyond Jones’ capabilities. He is acutely aware of the relationship of his subjects to the space in which they live, and you see this in backgrounds that reflect the unexpected.
Bio
George H. Jones was born in 1956 in Dallas, Texas. He began his career as an artist at a very early age, creating graphite renderings and painting in watercolors but soon progressed to oils, a medium he has adopted for the last 30+ years.
He generally takes a simple subject and starts there. He likes to use contrasting colors which also add depth and make the pieces more interesting and appealing. The majority of his pieces are usually large scale works of 48″ X 60″ or larger. George also paints in diptychs and triptychs.
Unlike many artists, George is open to working with galleries for specific interior design commissions by utilizing fabric samples, paint swatches, desired subject matter and size to create a one-of-a-kind painting for their client.
George’s work has been enjoyed and collected by many including Vice President Dan Quayle and five of his then advisors, professional athletes, business owners and executives and their families.
George is represented in select galleries across the country and in Mexico. He is married to Molly and they have three wonderful children.
