NEWTOWN — Jacqueline Jones will paint a landscape in oil at the next meeting of the Society of Creative Arts of Newtown at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 12, in the Newtown Meeting House, 31 Main St.
Ms. Jones’ landscape paintings capture fleeting moments with spontaneity and vigor as she works from life, in the open air.
According to a press release, she has a rich color pallet and lively brushwork.
The artist said, “Whatever the subject matter, I’m energized by the way light reveals essence and form.”
Ms. Jones keeps a studio in New Haven, where she works on larger pieces when the weather is cold, but her passion is plein air.
As a child, she studied with local artist Joseph Gionfriddo of Gilead, who instilled in her a love of traditional oil painting.
Ms. Jones earned a bachelor of fine arts in painting from the Lyme Academy College of Fine Art and an associated degree in graphics from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale.
She is the recipient of numerous awards including first prize for Outstanding Work at the Salmagundi Club in New York City.
Stamford Hospital recently acquired a number of her works for their permanent collection.
Her professional memberships include Allied Artists of America, the American Society of Marine Artists, Oil Painters of America, the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club, the Connecticut Academy of the Fine Arts, the New Haven Paint and Clay Club and the Salmagundi Club in New York City.
