Gale D Jones Art Gale D Jones (8/21/1956 - 1/18/2023) - American artist who pioneered the woven watercolor technique. Gale D.

Jones (8/21/1956 - 1/18/2023) was an American artist who spent most of his life in the state of Nebraska and Missouri. Jones was best known for his original technique, "Woven Watercolors,” which involved creating two separate paintings of the same subject but with different colors, cutting each into narrow strips, and weaving both paintings into one composite work. The end result of this time-cons

uming process creates an element of suggested 3-dimension and an illusion of motion in the finished piece. Jones completed at least two Woven Watercolor works during a period of legal blindness caused by diabetic retinopathy from March of 1981 through the summer of 1982. One of his works, “The Survivor,” was featured in a national traveling exhibit of visually impaired artists sponsored by the National Exhibits by Blind Artists. His work and story was featured in the American Artist Magazine's June 1984 issue (article available at www.galedjones.com). From this innovative style, the artist has gained published national recognition and awards. His works have been featured in regional, national, and international exhibits.

"This painting awakens several of my senses to relive one of my favorite seasons. The air is cool upon me - the night turns to a violet haze. The small of burning leaves is soothing. All is quiet except the crackling, snapping of burning twigs and leaves." - Gale D Jones, 1985 lecture notes.
