Tom Jones Workshop 

There are only a few spaces left for the Tom Jones workshop.  If you are interested in the workshop be sure to contact Jutta Vest soon and send a deposit to her.  This is a wonderful opportunity to learn from  an excellent artist/teacher! 

Tom is a story teller.  He tells stories with his paintings of places he has been and things he has seen.  He believes that a painting should not only tell a story, but should have a story behind it.  All of his paintings do.  Tom  says:  “I paint the landscape because it is disappearing so fast.  In the future there may be no landscape or wilderness painters because there may be no wilderness left, how sad, how terribly sad.  Let’s work together to insure this does not happen.”

A resident of Central Florida, Tom has been commissioned by government agencies, corporations, environmental groups, clubs and private collectors.  In answer to popular demand, he typically produces his watercolor landscapes in a series of three or five paintings around a specific theme.

His art can be found internationally in many private and corporate collections, including commissioned paintings displayed in the Florida State Capital Building, Walt Disney World Corporation, Marriott Corporation and the Omni Corporation.  Tom’s work has been featured in many books and on magazine covers as well as posters and brochures.  Tom shares his passion for art and love of nature with students of varying skill levels.
