| Biography | |
Jonathan began painting in 1992 while in college. Those carefree days allowed dabbling in such inapplicable things. Alas, in the interest of pursuing a career in technology, he put the paints aside. Much later, in the midst of a profession as a software developer, he took up the brush again. Finding some precious free time, at the breakfast nook, he mixed some colors for fun and dabbed a little on an old canvas. Rebellious feelings from his right-brain stirred, and the next day, he found himself browsing at the local art shop. Within the week, Jon moved from the breakfast nook; he had sequestered a whole room in his house for his rediscovered passion. In 2001 he began painting in oils. Friends and family provided encouragement and positive feedback. And his hobby gathered momentum.
In early Spring of 2005, Jon began a hiatus from his career. It was during this sabbatical from the corporate world, that he realized, "Hey I'm OK at this artist thing." Thus began an intensive home schooling. He found that the self-taught are so much more fodder for the inner critic. But he was driven to push through. Several hundred canvases later, and so many of his Ts and jeans spoiled with cerulean blue and titanium white, that treacherous inner critic finally threw in the towel (turpentine rag) and became his Ally. The result is a new way of life as an artist. |
