He has exhibited in many exhibitions, both solo and mixed in Malvern, Worcester, Hereford, Swansea, Bedford, Yorkshire, Ledbury and the Cotswolds. Jonathan has articles published in both 'The Leisure Painter' and 'The International Artist' magazine and has been featured in a book about painting water and seascapes which is published by 'The International Artist'. He won the Alexander Prowse award in 2004 at the Pastel Society exhibition, London, the Windsor & Newton award at The Patchings Open exhibition in Nottinghamshire in 2004 and the Lincoln Joyce / Rowland Hilder award at the R.I. Exhibition, London in 2008. Since becoming a professional artist in 1988, I have concentrated on trying to capture the impact light and weather can have on cityscapes and landscapes and the way they can transform a scene, using watercolours and pastels. I am always keen to convey mood in my paintings and like to use a full range of tones to create strong, atmospheric pictures.
