Huw Gareth Jones is a fine artist based in the South Western edge of Holy Island, Anglesey. Rhoscolyn has been Huw's home and studio for the last twenty years. This windswept and wild area has become the focus of his work, although he still paints other parts of the island and the mainland, especially the mountains of Eryri, Snowdonia.

His working process is based on drawings and paintings done on location. These can be a quick sketch in pencil or more substantial drawing or painting in gouache, watercolour, acrylic, pastel or mixed media. They attempt to convey an impression of the scene, the light, tone, colour, texture and atmosphere. There is excitement and drama in the varying light and weather.  

He is interested in how one colour varies then blends into another, and how moving one or more elements can enhance the composition and clarity in the meaning of the work. He also take photos which can help with the final piece. Back in the studio he works on the initial artwork, being careful not to over refine it or to lose the interest of hurried brushwork or mark-making. The piece then starts as a painting in oils or acrylics, attempting to make a successful statement while retaining some of the initial freshness and dynamism.

Huw feels that the best work conveys feeling through paint, colours work together and the eye travels around the composition finding interest in line, shape, marks and patterns. There are sometimes abstract elements where the negative space is emphasised and colours have developed from the process.
