Artist: Simon Jones Simon Jones was born in Grimsby, England.

He has lived and worked in Lincolnshire most of his life and feels a close connection with its unique landscape.“My passion is Oil Painting primarily my local Landscape (Lincolnshire Wolds). I have lived all my life in and around this landscape and use it as an inexhaustible and inspiring material for my painting. I have a deep love of Fine Art stretching back over 40 years now. Whenever I get the chance I take the opportunity to visit Art Exhibitions and Galleries both home and abroad. I endeavour to imbue my landscapes with mood and melancholy saturating the canvas with varying layers of paint to convey tone and texture in what I see.Remember: Look now while life lasts . . .
