Jonathan Shearer's paintings seem timeless and placeless, even though they are inspired by a specific landscape at a specific moment in time. They are a personal reinterpretation rather than a mere replication of nature, with the artist's perceptions, imagination, and feelings playing a crucial role in the finished piece.

Jonathan Shearer completely immerses himself in the untamed landscapes before beginning to paint them, forging a connection through prolonged walking, contemplation, and return visits. He takes digital photos and makes quick oil sketches on the spot, which he uses as a guide for the finished paintings he paints in the studio. His studio painting style is very vigorous and gestural, which occasionally causes paint to run and drip across the surface. less
