Judge’s Note from Juried Show:

First the multicolored sprinkles were pressed into the soft serve ice cream, then the chocolate ones. I haven’t felt so much passion for impasto oil painting since Vincent Van Gogh. The perspective lines draw my attention down the boardwalk to the top of the painting where there is also located the deadly and delicious first bite. I realize I’m walking through a seaside equivalent of The Night Hawks painting by Edward Hopper.

“Good Morning Froth” is a captivating piece that showcases the ocean in a stunning close-up view during the serene early morning hours. This impressive painting measuring 48 inches by 60 inches, beautifully captures the play of light and shadow on the waves, evoking a deep sense of calm and wonder.

Rendered in rich oil colors, the piece comes alive through a unique process of layering multiple glazes. This technique allows subtle colors to appear and disappear, mimicking the ever-changing surface of the sea.

Jon ’s work is about the memories we all have about putting our toes in the sand, and the feeling of the water as it rushes over our feet.

Originally from Philadelphia PA, Jon grew up in the Conshohocken area and still has a fondness and an attachment to Pennsylvania.

Jon now lives and works near the beach in Dagsboro, Delaware. He studied Drawing and Painting at Temple University’s Tyler School of Art. His background was first in the figure and still today that influence is in his unique approach to his seascapes. Jon is also an accomplished musician who plays several string instruments and as of 2025 is diligently working on an album to release.
His work is focused on nature and, in particular, our experiences of the ocean. Follow him on social media to see his latest news and for ways to buy his work.
