Painter, born in London, educated at Malvern College, where he was taught art by Henry Fabian Ware, studying at Slade School of Fine Art, 1953–6. Jones’ subject was landscape, Malta, Sardinia and Norfolk, where he lived at Little Cressingham, being key themes. His work verged on abstraction as he abstracted the essential elements of a scene, using both subtle shades and occasionally unexpected, muted bursts of colour. He showed with RA Summer Exhibitions; Young Contemporaries, RBA Galleries, 1954; Artists of Fame and Promise, Leicester Galleries, 1955–6; AIA Gallery from 1964; Norwich Group Show, Castle Museum in Norwich, 1978; Chicago International Art Exposition, America, 1988–90; and Eastern Arts Open, King’s Lynn, winner of Best Painting and Best in Show awards, 1993.
