Come join the San Marcos Art Center as they celebrate their latest exhibit launch. Walking in my Shoes: The Art of Robert R Jones. Jones’ new exhibit exhibit, ‘Walking in My Shoes’ will show a series of paintings and prints reflecting on the experiences of the artist’s life.
“Many ideas and themes come from my observations of daily life and spirit filled activities in and around my community” Jones says. “Things I experience, see, and feel passionate about. Being from a small town always causes a reflection on some of the memories when going back for a visit. Growing up was a simple pleasure and continues to lend nostalgic memories to many of my paintings. ‘Walking In My Shoes’ is a combination of personal and entertaining interactions. But, before you come to any conclusions about me and/or others, try walking in their shoes or my shoes. Bright and colorful images bring a joyous feeling of visual contentment, even where there is pain or sorrow that might be found deep within. Perspective is one of my favorite words - to see things from a different angle which is refreshing and expands one's viewpoint. This viewpoint comes to a point for capturing, love, entertainment, and empathy.”
Jones references a poem titled ‘Judge Softly’ by Mary T. Lathrap that runs parallel to the paintings he has created for this exhibit.
