My name is Brent Jones and I have spent many years perfecting my craft, unfortunately this never ends. I have been classically trained in the areas of painting and drawing. Having these fundamental skills allows me to translate them into almost any medium and to depict any subject. Personally I have an affinity for traditional and convincing subject matter which focuses mainly on figurative art. However I am not limited to just one genre alone.
