Jim Jones: Recent Paintings
October 15, 2009-December 12, 2009
Recent paintings by celebrated southern Utah landscape artist, Jim Jones will be on display at the Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery. Jim Jones has captured the essence of the American West and red rock country through his paintings of Zion Canyon and the Grand Canyon. After growing up in Cedar City, Jones attended the Art Center in Los Angeles, and later traveled to Mexico to study portrait and figure painting. Eventually, Jones made his way back to Utah and fell in love with the landscape. Jones estimates he has created more than 1,500 paintings in the many years he has been working as a full-time artist.
Jimmie Jones: Red Rock Painter, a documentary by Jon M. Smith and James M. Aton will be available for viewing beginning Thursday, October 15. The documentary explores the life and work of Jim Jones.
