New paintings:

Hastings waterfront: In 2021 Jonathan relocated to the Western Port Bay side of the Mornington Peninsula. The move has been really positive. He describes it as a sea change / tree change. The area is loaded with coastal views as well as natural bush, mangrove swamps, wetlands and wonderful wildlife. Western Port is part of a huge biosphere, just one of four in the whole of Australia. It is a great locale to acquire inspiration for paintings. The one above is the Hastings waterfront, an area called Pelican Point. Jonathan paints using acrylic paint and loves experimenting in different styles as the two paintings below indicate.

Andalusian horse and flamenco dancer

A stormy day at Lifestyle Bittern

Having visited Spain a long time ago Jonathan still has fond memories of that wonderful country. The horse and dancer painting were inspired by the many attractions of that visit.
Jonathan lives in a resort community. The storm picture of the village was an experiment in a different style with trees, gardens and sky painted almost in a palette knife approach.

ART - adventures in painting

Jonathan's other creative outlet is art painting, something he decided on out of the blue. He has virtually taught himself and experiments in different styles and chooses a variety of subjects, as the collection below reveals.

Jonathan uses acrylic paint because of the vibrant colours. The painting immediately below is called MOONLIGHT and was his first attempt.
