Barbara Newell Jones

My painting is done from nature because I enjoy being outside in every season and feel that the colors and values of my subjects and the essence of a place can best be captured on location and with direct observation. The excitement and the immediacy of painting “on the spot” are my inspiration .  I love to paint both the landscape and the sea but it is the patterns and the colors of these subjects that truly inspire me.


I have studied with Robert Cormier, David Curtis, Don Stone, Maris Platais, Susan Kelley, Leo Mancini-Hresko,  Mary Minifie, and others. My work is in private and corporate collections in New England, New York ,California and  Bermuda.
