His Work - His Art Meirion Jones

Both a feast to the eyes and a most interesting conversation was had at the November meeting in the company of Meirion Jones, the Cardigan based artist.

Through exhibiting over 60 of his paintings he took us from Aberaeron’s Pwll Cam to the wide plains of Patagonia revealing secrets as well as interesting stories regarding the characters who play such an important role in his work. It was great to see a number of local people amongst them.

Meirion explained the process of rough drawing on location before returning to the studio to complete the finished picture.

Through his wonderful presentation he brought the characters and the countryside of Ceredigion and North Pembrokeshire to life for us - many thanks for ensuring that they will prevail through his work.

We had a memorable evening that will long remain in our memories
