Testimonials
"….I will say of our artists, Mark Russell Jones creates these beautiful atmospheric landscapes.His use of paint and colors is like nobody I’ve ever worked with so I am very excited about him.”— Portia De Rossi
— HAUTE LIVING
“An inviting group of luminous abstractions, which seems to recast the room in shades of dreamy detachment. With an approach somewhere between abstract paintings and skyscapes once removed from natural reality, Mark Russell Jones’ work can alternately suggest nocturnal cloudscapes and the floating soft-edged forms and colors of Mark Rothko. Yet these paintings feel less interiorized than Rothko's, going someplace else, seeking a poetic and personal sense of presence.”
— Santa Barbara News-Press
"Mark Russell Jones’ work appears to radiate toned and tinted pools of light, or its absence; but the painting’s virtue is the range of hues it reveals upon careful, extended consideration.”
— The Chautauquan Daily
